Description: | Medieval gilt copper alloy bar-mount for the suspension of a harness pendant . There are two rivet holes and at one end a pair of pierced lugs containing the remains of the iron spindle which would have hled the pendant. The other end is lobed next to a double cusped moulding. Normally such mounts are horizontal (e.g. N. Griffiths in Clark 1995, 69, fig. 52 nos. 73-4) or are cruciform (ibid. no. 75). This single vertical example is an interesting variant. Length 39mm. Width 7.5mm. 13th - 14th century.(FLO12)
