Description: | Medieval gilt suspension mount for a horse harness pendant, very corroded, bent and broken, rectangular with rectangular lug projecting from both sides each pierced by a rivet-hole and now folded onto reverse, the remains of broken twin suspension-loops spring from the base. The mount is decorated with a star with circular domed centre and six radiating arms on a field of stamped annulets. Tiny fragments of gilding survive on the face of the mount. Cf. pendants with similar decoration in Ashley (2002), 6-7, fig.6, nos.10-12. 12th-century. | 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: | 1100
