Description: | Cast gilt copper alloy heraldic horse harness pendant in the shape of a shield with traces of red-brown enamelling. The surface is worn but three gilt lions passant, one above the other, on an enamelled red field, can be made out. This design represented the royal arms of England and was referred to at the time as ??gules, three lions passant guardant in pale or??. The suspension loop has been broken off and is missing.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar example that is smaller than average on page 93, No.570, which is dated to the 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
