Description: | A pendent loop made from copper alloy. It is lozenge-shaped, measuring 22mm by 19mm in size. Three of the corners of the lozenge-shape have an oval knop protruding from them. The fourth corner has a straight bar which is waisted in its centre. This bar would have been held by a loop at the base of a bar-mount; compare Egan and Pritchard 1991, nos. 1189-93, fig. 138. These may have been used to attach purses or knives, etc, to the belt. Egan and Pritchard's examples are from contexts in London mostly dated to the second half of the 14th century.
