Title
A medieval pendant mount with traces of gilding
Description
English: An incomplete medieval harness mount.

The mount is T-shaped in plan, triangular in profile and primarily made of copper alloy. The front shows traces of gilding along the bottom half of the cross bar and also on the stem. The end of the stem splits in half and between the two parts is an iron rivet which would have acted as a hinge for hanging a pendant.

The back of the mount is flat with no decoration and there are two circular projections which widen at the end and would have been attached to a strap.
