Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval quatrefoil horse-harness pendant with heraldic design. The device consists of a cross on a blue enamel ground. The terminal of each arm is divided into three branches (azure a cross patonce). The blue enamel is worn and pitted with none surviving on the cross. The suspension hole is worn at the top, forming a pear-drop shape. The pendant is probably of 14th-century date. See Ashley (2002, 21; ref. 200) for a similar quatrefoil pendant with the same device. | Subjects: | heraldic quatrefoil | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Mounsey, Sandy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
