Description: | Medieval two-piece harness pendant, probably of 14th or 15th century date. The pendant has a central sexfoil swivel. Each of the arms of the central swivel are tear-shaped and meet at the centre. Areas of gilding survive on both the swivel and the frame, but no other surface decoration survives. There is the suggestion of a deliberate red or vermilion coating lying on top of the gilding between the arms of the swivel. The sexfoil frame has slight mouldings between each of the rounded arms. The central swivel is attached to the frame by a circular copper alloy pin below the square ended terminal, which restricts the amount of movement of the swivel. At the apex of the pendant is a circular attachment hole. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
