Description: | Fragment of a medieval gilt copper alloy harness mount, a D-sectioned bar mount with a separate dome-headed rivet between a lobed terminal and a double cusp. Beyond two transverse ribs, the second of which projects above the remainder, the object becomes immediately thinner. The width reduces steadily from the the rivet hole to the break. Lobed terminals and double cusps are frequently found on harness mounts, especially those for the suspension of pendants (e.g. Clark 1995, 69. no. 73), but the other details of this piece are atypical. Extant length 32.5mm. Width 7.5 - 3.3mm. Thickness 5.5 - 1.2mm. 13th - 14th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
