Description: | Complete Medieval cruciform harness suspension mount of copper alloy with traces of gilding. It measures 26x32x2.5mm and weighs 5.54g.Three arms contain rivet holes within circular terminals decorated with horizontal grooves and separated from the mount by a double cusp. The arms of the central section of the mount have a triangular cross section. The suspension fitting forms the fourth arm.It is similar to, though more ornate than 75 in Clark (1995). In the description of 75, Griffiths suggests that these mounts, as a pose to the horizontal bar mounts, were used at the junction of two straps. This example dates from c.1300.
