Description: | Medieval copper alloy harness pendant, circular in shape and convex to the front, with a loop extending turned through 90??.
It is 18.2mm in diameter, 26.7mm long and 0.5mm thick, weighing 2.13g.
The pendant is missing much of its original patina, which may have been gilded. Harness pendants hung from a leather strap around the horse and were often very colourful and/ or gilded so they would be seen and look splendid.
