Description: | A copper-alloy horizontal harness pendant suspension mount, 30mm in length and 5mm in width. The decorative horizontal bar is triangular in cross-section with a flat back face. The horizontal element is seperated from shaped terminals by a double cusp. The terminals consist of a circular-shaped part with central rivets through them, one rivet survives, and then a semi-circular shaped knob at the end. There is a hinge part protruding from the centre of the mount to which the pendant would have been attached. There are traces of gilding on the front face. This harness pendant suspension mount is very similar to those found in London which are Medieval and dated to between 1150 and 1450 (Clark 1995, 69, Fig 52). | 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: | 1150
