Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy possible heraldic harness hanger, of probable Medieval dating.The possible harness hanger is irregular in both plan and profile. The top of the hanger consists of central bar with a flat lower surface and regularly spaced semi-circular projections. After a right angled bend, the central bar splits into two semi-circular ends, each with the remnants of a iron pin / bar for suspension purposes.It is mid to dark brown in colour, with an even surface patina.It measures 20.21mm in length, 13.70mm wide and 10.41mm thick. It weighs 2.7 grams.It is possible that this is part of a heraldic harness hanger, but this identification is uncertain. It is probably of Medieval dating (1000 to 1500 AD).
