Description: | Fragment of medieval purse hanger or arched pendent mount. This fragment represents one and a half of three original arches. There is a pronounced cusp where the arches meet, and an elongated, horizontal end bar with a moulded collar where the mount would have fitted into a separate bar mount, which is missing. The fragment has a flattened oval section and has an even mid green patina. Break edges are worn smooth suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The fragment is 26.78mm long, 2.76mm thick and weighs 1.26g. It dates from the mid 14th to mid 15th centuries. An almost exact example of pendant mount fragment can be seen in Read, 2001, number 181.
