Description: | A copper alloy triangular harness pendant which is medieval in date. The pendant is 41.5mm long, 30.1mm wide and 7.1mm thick. It has a transverse suspension loop at the top and rounded projecting corners at the bottom. It is bent across the middle at about a 45 degree angle. The front (in the acute angle of the bend) is decorated with a zig-zag line round the edge of the face and there is gilding surviving. The reverse is not gilded and is plain. A similar triangular harness pendant also with rounded lower corners can be seen on page 7 of ??Medieval Armorial Horse Furniture in Norfolk?? by Ashley (2002) which is dated to the late twelfth or early thirteenth century. The ungilded metal has a dark green patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
