Description: | A medieval copper-alloy mount for the suspension of a harness pendant.The mount is circular, domed and has four peripheral lugs, each with central rivet hole. Traces of gilding and red enamel decorate the surface of the dome, but the nature of the design is unclear. A flat-sectioned arm projects downwards at the base, extending into an inverted U-shaped hanger. Corroded remnants of the iron axis bar are located within the hanger's perforations.Dimensions not known (recorded from photographs). Weight: 6.01g.This mount probably dates from the 12th to early 13th century (for similar examples, see Ashley 2002: Fig. 8).
