Description: | A complete copper-alloy two-part harness pendant, medieval and circa 1300-1500 century in date, consisting of an outer pendant frame and a solid inner pendant.
The outer pendant frame is shaped like a six-petalled flower with a suspension loop set at right angles to the plane of the pendant. The suspension loop is at the terminal of a two parallel rectangular shafts, which projects from the top of the middle of the central petal. The outer pendant measures 37.95mm in length and 24.03mm in width.
The inner pendant is also a circular six-petalled flower, each petal fitting inside a larger petal of the outer pendant frame. The inner pendant measures c17.22mm in diameter and is attached to the frame via a suspension loop, again turned through 90 degrees. A corroded probably iron bar, runs horizontally across and through the parallel rectangular shafts of the outer pendant frame, runs through the inner pendants suspension loop. There is an iron rivet through centre of the inner pendant. Traces of gilding can also be seen on the inner pendant.
This two-part pendant is similar in shape to other examples from Isleham, Cambridgeshire (see SF-9810), and SF-4C12C3, from Thetford, Norfolk. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
