Description: | A cast copper-alloy Medieval harness pendant suspension mount (c. 1200-c. 1400). The upper part of the mount is sub-circular in plan. It has a slotted projection at the bottom which is folded through 180ยบ to form a looped hinge that enabled a pendant to be suspended from an axis bar within the loops. The axis bar and pendant are missing. At the rear of the upper part there is an integral rivet, circular in cross-section with a diameter of 2.7mm. It is burred over at the end. The rivet has a sub-lozenge-shaped sheet copper-alloy rove, 12.9 x 10.8 x 0.3mm. At the front, stamped decoration is in the form of a 'heart' -shaped motif on the upper sub-circular part and a straight vertical line on each loop. This mount has a pitted mid-green patina and is also corroded in places with loose light green copper-alloy corrosion products. 26.6 x 14.9 x 7.6mm. Weight: 5.04g.
