Description: | The copper alloy suspension bar mount for a horse harness pendant. This consisted of a horizontal rectangular bar with rounded knops at the end of each arm. In the centre of the lower edge there are two lugs for suspension of the pendant (now lost). Towards the end of each arm are two vertical ridges, curving slightly towards the centre of the arm. On the far side of these is a pierced circular hole for attachment of the mount. On one side the object has broken at this point, on the other there are traces of iron corrosion products in the hole. Traces of gilding are visible in places.
