Description: | A Medieval copper alloy harness pendant suspension mount dating from 1250 - 1400 AD. It is square in plan and domed in profile with a hollow reverse. In the centre of the reverse is a single integral mounting spike. Projecting from the lower edge of the mount is a tab with a wide slot through the middle, which is folded back on itself to form two loops or hinges from which the harness pendant would have hung. The axis bar does not survive but the holes are full of corrosion. The front of the mount has traces of gilding surviving. Another mount of similar style but wider is SUR-46FAE4.
