Description: | Medieval Gilt harness mount with two rivet holes, one with rivet. At one end a rounded lobe and a narrow transverse rib next to a rivet, at the other a rectangular boss cut by a rivet hole next to a key-hole shaped loop, now broken. The centre widens into a cross fleury inlaid with red enamel. It is likely that this is part of a clasp and that the loop is an ?eye? into which a ?hook? or plate of a counterpart mount would have fitted. If this had functioned as a suspension unit for a pendant, it would have been in the same plane as, rather than at right angles to, the pendant, a most unusual arrangement. Length 45.5mm. Maximum width 13.5mm. Rivet holes centre to centre 27mm. 14th 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: | 1300
