Description: | A copper alloy horse harness pendant and suspension mount of Medieval date. Both the mount and pendant are sub-circular in plan with scalloped edges, roughly resembling a flower with eight petals. The pendant is pierced centrally. The mount and pendant remain attached via an iron pin which passes through the pendant's suspension loop. The pin has since corroded causing sizeable swelling on the reverse side of the join. Remnants of the mount's rivet project from the back of the suspension mount. Surface detail on both the pendant and mount is unclear due to corrosion. A pendant of similar form is illustrated by Griffiths (1986: 1 Fig. 2, Cat. 9); pendants of this type are generally thought to date from the 12-14th centuries.The pendant measures 47.21mm in length; 17.13mm in width and 1.72mm in thickness.
