Description: | Incomplete Medieval gilt horse harness mount, T-shaped with one surviving elaborate arm in the form of a concave-sided star of six points with pellet on circular lobe on each concave side, decorated with red enamelled sexfoil on a field of pellets. The arm is cracked to the side of the star where pierced by a dome-headed rivet and has a broken perforated lobe on the outside edge. The other arm is broken where pierced by a large rivet-hole and has the beginning of a similarly elaborate terminal. The central bar is pierced by two rivet-holes the lower of which contains a dome-headed rivet retaining corroded fragment on reverse. There is a straight horizontal break at the foot that may possibly have continued and been slotted and bent for the suspension of a pendant. >50 x >39mm. Cf. pendant of similarly elaborate form in Ashley (2002) fig.23, no.235. 13th century.
