Description: | A copper alloy horse harness pendant mount dating to the medieval period. The mount is the section that would have attached to the harness strap and from which a pendant would have hung. The mount is in the shape of a fleur-de-lys and is gilded. There are two rivet holes, one in the top leaf of the fleur and the other in the main body of the mount (both rivets are now missing). Two loops projecting from the base of the fleurs is part of the hinge to which the pendant would have been secured by a pin. 14th century AD.
