Description: | A cast, copper alloy, hinged pendant suspension mount, to support a harness pendant. It is a sub-rectangular and slightly convex plate, now a little bent. The most complete edge is scalloped. There are two rivet holes in the centre of the plate, one containing the remains of an iron rivet. A wide projection from one edge is bent under, originally around a hinge bar, but is not broken at this point. It has a slot cut in it to accommodate the loop of a horse harness pendant. The mount is undecorated, but there are traces of gilding. Compare SF8074 and SF8086.
