Workflow stage: Published
A copper alloy Medieval harness pendant suspension mount. This mount probably dates from about AD 1200 - 1400. It is a sub-circular, slightly domed mount with a single, central integral rivet. The mount extends at the bottom into two strips (one of which is missing) which are curled back on themselves to make loops.

There are possible traces of gilding on the front face. Compare SF-F41706 and DENO-89E394.
