Description: | Medieval (14th Century AD) copper alloy harness fitting. The object consists of a scallop shaped mount with a bell pendant. At the base of the scallop mount are two projections with perforations at the ends. Through the perforations runs an axial bar, forming a hinge connecting the bell to the mount. There is an integral rivet on the back of the mount to attach it to the harness. The pendant is a small spherical rumbler bell with integrally cast attachment loop. The object is mid brown and covered in corrosion pitting. Parallels can be found in Saunders (1991, Fig 4 no.25) and in Griffiths (1986 fig.21b). Length: 32mmReference:Saunders, P. 1991.
