Description: | A copper alloy Medieval harness pendant suspension mount dating from about AD 1200 - 1400. The suspension mount consists of a horizontally aligned bar of triangular section. At either end of this bar is a narrow transverse ridge which gives way to a perforated lobe with a horizontal knop protruding from the end. Within both holes is an in situ dome-headed rivet, the ends of which are bent over on the reverse. The hinged hanger element extends downwards at 90 degrees from the centre of the underside. It has two parallel arms perforated at the end for the horizontal axis bar which is missing, as is the ends of the arms.The reverse of the mount is slightly concave and there are traces of gilding on the mount.
