Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy mount, probably a suspension mount for a harness pendant or similar, of Medieval date. It is T-shaped in form with a rectangular cross-bar that is D-shaped in section and has a concave back face. At each end of the crossbar is a trefoil shaped terminal with transverse collar and central circular rivet hole. At the bottom centre of the crossbar is a very short neck from which extends a double lug that curves backwards before terminating in old breaks. All surfaces of the object are extremely worn, but traces of gilding are visible on all areas of the front face. It measures 52.09mm in width, 17.03mm in length, 4.02mm in thickness and 7.84g in weight.This is a suspension mount, probably for a harness pendant, of Medieval date. It finds near identical parallels in examples from London (Clark, 1995: p. 69, nos. 73-74) and is of probable 13th-14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
