Description: | A cast copper-alloy mount of Medieval date. It has a rectangular body with central oval shaped boss that has a central circular aperture. Each end of the mount has projecting rectangular loops with transverse rectangular apertures. All surfaces are extremely worn and any trace of additional decorative elements are now missing due to old breaks. This mount measures 47.70mm in length, 8.69mm in width, 14.51mm in thickness/height (at loops), and 12.52g in weight.This is a mount probably for the suspension of a horse harness pendant or banner, with near identical examples published by Griffiths (1986: p. 2, nos. 22-24). These indicate a probable c.13th-14th century AD date for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
