Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy horse harness pendant. The suspension loop of this pendant is missing due to an old break, however, when present is was most likely to be set at a 90 degree angle to the plane of the shaft. The pendant is flat and lozenge shaped, measuring 38.82mm in length by 32.44mm in width. The front face of the pendant is decorated with a raised saltire. The background enamel is now missing and no trace of its colour remains. However, similar Or slatires engrailed gules, which are the heraldic symbol of John Le Moigne, Suffolk, Knight of the shire, Hunts. 1290, Cambs. 1303, summoned against the Scots 1301, died 1342, have been found at Quiddenham and Postwick, Norfolk (Ashley 51, no 46 and 52). Therefore, although the colours of this pendant can not be seen its design alone makes it a distinct possibility that its heraldry belongs to John Le Moigne. The back face is undecorated. | Subjects: | heraldic | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
