Description: | A Medieval copper alloy harness pendant and mount, dating AD 1200-1500. The pendant has four rounded lobes and is slightly domed. At the top of one of the lobes projects an integral suspension loop, cast perpendicular to the object. The harness mount is rectangular in shape, with two projections along one edhe, connected by an axial bar to which the pendant is attached. There are two integral copper alloy rivets on the back of the mount. There are traces of gilding on the pendant. The metal is a mid-light green with patches of mid brown. The object has corroded in such a way that the pendant can no longer move on its axial bar and the mount is bent over the front.A similar example is recorded on the PAS databse, cf. IOW-FE41D5. But no other published examples have been found.Dimensions: length: 36.41 mm; width: 26.66 mm; thickness: 4.06 mm; weight: 11.75g,
