Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy mount of medieval date. The form of this mount is paralleled by a harness pendant suspension mount illustrated by Griffiths in his Finds Research Group datasheet (1986, p. 4, d). The suggested date range for harness pendants is 12th to 14th century AD.The central element of the mount comprises a bar of flattened triangular section. At either end of this bar is a transverse rectangular moulding which separates the central element from the terminals, only one of which survives. This surviving terminal has a V-shaped moulding immediately adjacent to the aforementioned transverse bar; above this moulding is a rounded end section containing a circular rivet hole with associated iron corrosion, presumably from the missing rivet. Extending outwards from the end of the mount is a pointed projection. The underside of the mount is hollow.The surfaces of the piece are corroded. It measures 66.6mm long, 11.7mm wide and 3.9mm thick. The weight is 12.34g.
