Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy, Medieval (1200-1400) harness pendant suspension mount, measuring 19.1x8.1x2.2mm and weighing 1.3g.The mount has a sub-rectangular body with a recess forming two arms. These would have held an iron axis bar, on which the pendant would have been suspended. Traces of iron corrosion product survive in the holes on these arms.Extending from the sub-rectangular body at the other end is a circular section which is plain and flat. To the reverse is a single circular integral shank for attachment with a flattened top. The patina is a light green to both the front and back. A similar example can be found in Read (2001, pg, 52, 404).
