Description: | A copper-alloy harness pendant suspension mount, medieval circa 14th century in date. This pendant mount consists of a horizontal rectangular element 20mm in length and 9mm in width with a slightly rounded front face and a flat back face. The back face has an integral cylindrical rivet projecting from either end, to allow the suspension mount to be attached to a leather strap. Projecting down from the centre of the horizontal element is a short rectangular shaft which terminates in two parallel lugs (10mm in length and 9mm in width), there would have originally have been a horizontal bar through these, likely to have been iron as iron corrosion remains within the lugs, which would have run through the pendant suspension loop allowing the now missing pendant to swing freely.
