Description: | A complete cast copper alloy harness suspension mount of medieval date. The main bar is an elongated sub-oval shape with slight swelling at the top through which is a circular perforation for attachment. The opposite end expands slightly into a rectangular box which splits into two parallel attachment loops with a central rectangular space. A copper alloy bar runs through the perforations in the loops around which a pendant hanger is fitted. The hanger is circular in plan and would have been attached to the pendant proper though this no longer remains.Due to a lack of diagnostic feature usually presented by the pendant on such items it is not possible to allocate a specific date to this object though a general medieval date is likely.The metal has a mid reddish-brown patina and is worn. The mount is 38.4mm long, 7.2mm wide, 5.7mm thick and weighs 4.7g.
