Description: | A heavily corroded and incomplete copper-alloy horse harness pendant of probable 14th century date (N. Griffiths; 1986; pp. 1).
The small pendant takes the form of a spade-shaped shield. Cast into the upper surface are three lions, passant gardant, facing left - the arms of England. The broken hanger is situated at the centre of the top edge. The reverse is plain.
The pendant has been heavily cleaned, to the extent that there is no trace of the orginal patina and no sign of any enamel infill or gilding. It measures 22.4mm long, 13.4mm wide and 2.3mm thick. The weight is 1.88g. | Subjects: | Shield-shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
