Description: | A complete copper-alloy arched pendant mount, which would have orignally have been held at either end, usually with a bar mount, to a girdle and swung freely. These items were most likely to have been used to attach purses or knives to the belt. Similar examples have been found in London and are medieval and mid 13th-14th century in date (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 219-223). This example measures 57.8mm in length and 7.3mm in width and consists of three arches, the central arch is larger than the two flanking it. The back face is flat and the front face rounded with tear-drop shaped lobes projecting downwards inbetween each of the arches. | 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: | 1250
