Description: | A copper-alloy box fitting, dating from the Medieval period.The piece consists of an 'L-shaped' mount, the central bar of which has a flat underside and convex upper surface. At the base of this bar, a narrower 'waist' gives way to a scallop-shaped terminal with in-situ copper-alloy rivet. A terminal of similar form, also containing an in situ rivet, is located at the top of the fitting, where it is surmounted by a pointed projection. Traces of gilding are visible on the upper surfaces of the piece.Length: 40mm; height: 34.1mm; width: 10.3mm; weight: 9.89g.The form of this piece can be compared to a common style of harness pendant suspension mount (cf. Ashley 2002: fig. 13, no. 105), the associated pendants for which generally date from the late 13th to 14th century.
