Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy quatrefoil horse harness pendant decorated with a scallop shell filled with the remains of red enamel. The scallop shell is a symbol of St. James and pilgrimage generally. The pendant is missing its attachment loop, but the edge of one arc of the quatrefoil is damaged, and it may have been attached at this point.
Griffiths in Clark (2004) illustrates a similar enamelled example on page 66, Fig.49, No.66, which is dated to the 14th century.
Read (2001) illustrates a similar enamelled example on page 56, Fig.35, No.445, which is dated to the 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
