Description: | A cast copper-alloy harness fitting probably of the late Medieval period.
The fitting is composed of four distinct parts, with only two remaining.
The smaller component is a flat connecting plate with three circular lobes, each containing suspension holes with 6.75mm internal diameter. The 'upper' lobe is centrally placed, while the side lobes are set perpendicularly to the upper lobe and extend to either side.
The other remaining component is a pendant at first glance, but the underside has the remains of two rivets, suggesting it was attached to a strap rather than allowed to suspend. The attachment/pendant has a circular central body that is domed with a decorated terminal at one end consisting of a collar circle surmounted by a small knob. At the opposite side of the central body is a suspension hook which is looped through one fot the suspension loops of the connecting piece. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rob Collins | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
