Description: | Medieval two-piece harness pendant, probably of 14th or 15th century date. The pendant has a sexfoil frame with six internal spikes creating six tear-shaped 'cells'. The spikes do not meet in the centre. The sexfoil frame also has slight mouldings between each of the rounded arms. The swivel is roughly circular and does not swivel through the frame, obviously. It is possible that it was for decorative or sound-making purpose only. The central swivel is attached to the frame by a circular copper alloy pin below the square ended terminal, which restricts the amount of movement of the swivel. At the apex of the pendant is a circular attachment hole, broken. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
