Description: | A Medieval copper-alloy strap fitting for the suspension of a horse harness pendant.The central portion of the mount comprises a triangular-sectioned, T-shaped bar. The lower end of the vertical part of this bar bifurcates, terminating in a pair of perforated lugs, which are separated by a gap, across which extends an iron axis bar. At both the right- and left-hand ends of the horizontal arm, there is a rounded lobe with central rivet hole, narrow waist on its inner side and knop on its outer. Traces of gilding can be seen on the corroded surfaces of the piece.Length: 28.9mm; height/width: 13.6mm; thickness: 5.4mm. Weight: 4.84g.A stylistically similar hanger, attached to a shield-shaped pendant, is illustrated by Steven Ashley (2002: fig. 13, no. 105). Such pieces date from the 13th to 14th century.
