An incomplete Medieval cast copper-alloy harness pendant set consisting of suspension mount and a small portion of a harness pendant
\nThe mount is sub-rectangular in plan slightly convex at the front and slightly concave at the rear. The top is rounded and has a ragged break. At the centre, close to the top, there is a copper-alloy rivet. The rivet is flush at the front and burred at the rear.
\nThe lower part has been perforated with a rectangular slot and then turned through 180\u00b0 to form loops that make contact with the rear face of the mount. These loops contain a copper-alloy axis bar from which hangs the shaft of a copper-alloy harness pendant.<\/p>\n
This set is corroded and pitted and has no trace of any surface treatment. Buff material surrounding the rivet at the rear may be decayed leather.<\/p>\n
Overall length: 31.70mm; width: 10.92mm; thickness: 5.03mm. Weight: 2.76g.
