Description: | Copper alloy horse harness pendant, length 53mm, width 40mm, thickness 1mm, weight 12.54g. Octofoil, a semicircular recess has been removed from each of the corners of the top arch. Stamped ring decoration over much of the face with linear sections left untouched resulting in what might be a chevron pattern. There is an off centre hole, which has been punched from the rear, this would have held a decorative fitting, the reverse is plain. The loop at the top expands into an inverted teardrop shape with a suspension hole at the top. There are traces of gold on the face where the artefact was gilt. The object has suffered heavily from corrosion resulting in the loss of the original layer, leaving a dark brown pitted surface. This artefact dates to the 13th century. | Subjects: | pendant | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Adams, Kurt - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
