Description: | A cast copper-alloy probable harness mount or pendant suspension mount of Post Medieval date, about AD 1500 - 1700.The harness mount is an openwork lozenge-shape with projecting trefoils on three corners; the last corned is missing. A projection from one end terminal was probable a suspension loop, based on comparison with more complete examples. A raised, lozenge-shaped central boss sits on a rectangular base connected at the corners to the midlengths of the outerframe. This leaves openwork holes which are trefoil or sub-heart-shaped.On the reverse, a bent integral spike projects from each corner. The metal is a copper-alloy with a high tin or other light white metal content.Compare NCL-97E903 and DOR-B1B3B1 which are more complete examples with a suspension loop. The mount is 43.9mm long, 39.3mm wide and 9.5mm thick. 8.31g.
