Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy horse harness pendant. Only the base of the suspension loop for this pendant survives but it is enough to show that it was set at 90 degrees to the plane of the pendant. Below the incomplete suspension loop there is an oval shaped 'petal' which is attached to the top edge of the circular pendant itself, two more oval shaped 'petals' survive, projecting from the edge of the pendant, the others are missing due to old breaks. The front face of the circular pendant, measuring 21mm in diameter, is decorated with moulding and enamel, a dark enamel depicts a eight petalled flower with a central circular part, surrounding this there are red dots. There are also traces of gilding on the front face of the suspension loop and surviving 'petals.' The back face is flat and undecorated. This harness pendant is medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
