Description: | A gilded copper alloy harness mount. The mount is square with the remains of lug (possibly a suspension loop) in the centre of the top edge. The decoration on the upper side is within a double linear square border. Within the border is a circle with a lis in each angle of the mount. Inside the circle is a lion passant left. Pellets cover the surface inside and outside the circle. The gilding remains on the decorated surface only. The lug at the top is broken but appears to be folded over to the decorated surface and is somewhat wider than the usual suspension loops of harness pendants. A similar combination of the lion and fleurs-de-lis can be seen on a harness mount from London, with suggested dating after 1340 (Griffiths 1995, 71, no. 81). | 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
