Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy harness pendant suspension mount of medieval date. A bar mount of flat semi-circular section. Double-looped integral attachment from lower end which would have held the axis bar from which the pendant would have been suspended. One of the loops has been severely bent up towards the mount when the mount and pendant became disassociated. At each end of the mount is a rounded terminal which long protruding knop. Each extension has a rivet hole; a copper-alloy rivet still survives in one of them. There is a transverse ridge between the body of the mount and each of the terminals. The object now has a patchy pale green and red/brown patina. An almost identical harness mount can be found illustrated in Clark (ed) (1995, 69; ref. 74). | Subjects: | pendant suspension mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
