Description: | A gilded cast copper alloy horse harness pendant of medieval date. The harness pendant is a simple circular shape, with a slightly concave back. The integral attachment lug (13.15mm in length) is set at 90 degrees to the rest of the pendant, and has a 3.5mm hole at its upper end. The loop itself is slightly bent. The decoration on the front of the pendant was formerly gilded, and some of this gilding survives. The motif consists of a large recercelee cross with a small leaf shape in between each arm. Examples of similar shape in Read's 'History Beneath our Feet' are dated to the 13th or 14th centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
