Description: | A near complete Medieval cast copper-alloy horse harness pendant hanger. It is 'rectangular' in shape measuring 28.54mmx27.24mmx2.53mm and weighing 6.1g. There are three holes in each corner of the rectangle the forth has been damaged where the corner has been nicked off. The upper surface has scalloped edged boarder rounding around the outside edge, which a small amount of gilding survives. Two arms project from the bottom edge of this plate (right-hand side still has a rivet in-situ) and curve rearwards to where the copper-alloy breaks off at the back. These arms helped form the swinging hinge fitting with the missing harness pendant.
