Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy worn horse harness pendant. This pendant is flat and shield shaped and measures 35mm in length and 23mm in width. The suspension loop is fragmentary due to wear and old breaks, however, enough remains to be sure that it was set at 90 degrees to the plane of the pendant. The front face of the pendant is decorated with background Or (gold) and a saltire (cross placed diagonally across the shield) engrailed Gules (red) with enamel. This design is attributed to John Le Moigne, of Suffolk, Knight of the shire, Hunts. 1290, Cambs 1303, summonded against the Scots 1301 and died 1342. An identical pendant has been found from Quidenham, Norfolk and Poswick, Norfolk (Ashley 2002, 11, fig 11). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
