Description: | Medieval suspension mount for a harness pendant. Cast in copper alloy. The mount is sub-rectangular in plan, and is divided into two sections by a central transverse groove. The main body of the mount has rounded corners and a concave reverse with a central prong for attachment. The prong is rectangular with a square cross section. The lower section is comprised of two circular lugs which are perpendicular to the main mount. These two lugs have a central circular hole to hold a bar from which a harness pendant would have been suspended. The bar and pendant are not attached to the mount, and the holes in the two lugs are filled with corrosion material. The mount is dark grey in colour, with small patches of green corrosion. The surface is worn and slightly pitted. The mount is 14.40mm long, 9.10mm wide, 4.66mm thick, and the prong extends for 5.71mm from the reverse of the mount.
