Description: | Copper-alloy pendant suspension mount of probable 17th C. AD date. The object is comprised of two pieces. The plate has a domed upper surface and is hollow on the reverse. It is globular, narrowing to a waist at the bottom. Above the plate a horizontal collar gives way to a smaller, rounded, rivet plate with a small decorative knob on top. A rearward hook is attached to the bottom of the plate. Suspended from this hook is a separate trefoil copper-alloy attachment. The piece would have been attached by two small copper-alloy rivets which remain in place, one at the top of the plate and one in the narrower section at the bottom. The overall dimensions of the piece are 63.5mm long by 21.1mm wide and 6.7mm high. The weight is 15.84g. | 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: | 1600
