Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant consists of a circular plate of copper alloy with a circular projection at 2, 4, 8 and 10 o??clock, and a rectangular projection at 9 and 3 o??clock. The projection at 4 o??clock is fragmentary. The suspension loop is situated between to uppermost projections. There is a large dome-headed rivet (length 9.3mm) at the centre of the pendant, with a square fragment of copper alloy sheet attached to its reverse. The pendant is decorated with small stamped circles. Much of the original surface has worn away; therefore it is not possible to discern the extent of the decoration. The object is worn and corroded with worn breaks. The metal is mid brown to green in colour. It dates to the medieval period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
