Description: | Medieval or post medieval enamelled copper alloy harness pendant. Circular disc with suspension loop set at 90?? to the rest of the object. The loop is broken across the base of the piercing. The central device on the disc is a red enamelled cross pattee on a green enamelled shield with concave upper border, held within a blue enamelled circle with a beaded line border, and inscription around. The inscription is unclear - AV[??]. The reverse is undecorated. Length 26.70mm, width (diameter of pendant) 21.26mm, maximum thickness (across broken loop) 3.84mm, thickness across centre of pendant 2.50mm, weight 4.95g.
Unusual design and enamelling may suggest this is of post medieval, rather than the more usual medieval, date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
