Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy Medieval Horse Harness Suspension Mount. The rectangular mount has a blue circle in the centre with a red shield with two gold lions passant rampant. Around the edge of the circle the mount is gold and has a rivet hole in each corner. The surviving enamel is fragmentary and there are traces of gilding. At the base of the mount, the folded-back suspension hinge still retains the copper-alloy pin. Between the hinge is the remains of the suspension loop from the harness pendant. The pendant is broken at the base of the suspension loop and the rest of the pendant is missing. The length of the mount is 26.4mm, the width is 23.6mm and the weight is 7.80g.
