Description: | An incomplete copper alloy sheet medieval horse harness suspension mount. The mount is torn all along the top edge and only half of the mount now survives. The bottom of the mount terminates with a rectangular projection, which bends underneath and has a slot cut to accommodate the loop of a horse-harness pendant. On one side of the mount is a sub-rectangular projection with a rivet hole; there may have been another one on the opposite side, but this is now missing. The front of the mount is decorated with incised decoration consisting of a circle with a cross inside and possibly foliage around the edge. There are also traces of gilding surviving on the front. The surviving length is 38.0mm, the surviving width is 41.8mm, the thickness is 1.0mm and the weight is 11.61g. | Subjects: | Pendant Suspension Mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
