Description: | A copper alloy Medieval harness mount of probable fourteenth century date. The loop is set at right angles to the body which has an unusual elongated, narrow shape with rounded shoulders, and tapers towards its lower terminal. This is incomplete due to old breaks, and is bent upwards at the tip. The surface of the mount is corroded and no trace can be seen of decoration or armorial design. It measures 33.49mm in length, 11.05mm in width across the shoulder, and weighs 3.31g.There are other examples from Suffolk which are less common, such as SF-581D45 from Geddington, also narrow and elongated, but with a circular knop at the lower terminal.
