Description: | Enormous suspension mount for a horse-harness pendant, consisting of a trapezium-section bar with two transverse mouldings at either end and two terminals. One terminal is broken at a rivet hole, and now consists of two rounded lobes perhaps from a fleur-de-lis. The other terminal has a lozenge, and a projection beyond is then folded in half and cut into two hinge loops. A second rivet hole cuts through both the lozenge and the end of the folded-under part. The hinge loops retain corrosion from an iron bar. The mount is now a little bent (causing stress to the metal) but was originally c. 110 mm long (surviving length c. 100 mm). The bar is 9.5 mm wide and the lozengiform terminal is 19 mm wide. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
