Description: | An incomplete and worn Medieval Horse Harness Pendant Suspension Mount. The flat copper-alloy sheet zoomorphic mount is in the form of a symmetrical bird. The bird has a triangular tail at the top of the mount and integral stretched wings on either side of the body, though the tip of one is incomplete. There are two large rivet holes, one on the tail and another on the body. Instead of a bird's head, the mount terminates with a rectangular projection, which bends underneath and has a slot cut to accommodate the loop of a horse-harness pendant. The front surface of the mount has traces of gilding. The length is 28.3mm, the width is 21.7mm and the weight is 3.69g.
