Description: | A Medieval harness pendant suspension mount dating from about AD 1200 - AD 1400. The copper-alloy mount is a rectangular horizontal bar which is D shaped in cross section and has a circular rivet hole at each end. Descending from the middle of one long edge is the hinge; a thinner projecting tab which is slotted to accomodate the loop of the harness pendant, and folded backwards to form two loops which support the copper alloy axis bar. The rounded end of the tab is pressed flat against the back of the mount. There is no visible decoration. The rivet holes are 2mm and 2.5mm diameter. The mount is 31.5mm long, 15.6mm wide and 5.2mm thick. 5.2g. A similar but more ornate example is IOW-74FBE5 and SF8086 has the same construction.
