Description: | Cast copper alloy suspension mount fragment with the remains of red enamelled decoration on one face of the plate. Beyond the remains of the plate, the mount narrows towards the suspension loop. The suspension loop has two holes which would have held a pin, no longer extant, to suspend the pendant hanger. Half of a rivet hole also remains at the opposite end to the suspension loop. This would have allowed the mount to be riveted to the horse harness, along with other rivets, now missing. The plate of the suspension mount is very worn, but would have been larger and possibly figurative.
Read (2001) illustrates similarly sized examples of figurative types on page 57, Fig.36, Nos.459 & 460, which are dated to the 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
