Description: | A possible cast copper alloy harness pendant. The object is a sub-oval shape, but this is unlikely to be its originally shape as all the edges are heavily abraded. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The outer surface has a heraldic design; three lions passant. The field around the lions, which are in high relief, has traces of red enamel. There are patches of a heavy mid green patina on the surface. It measures 39.19mm long and 28.91mm wide and weighs 7.2g. The condition of the pendant is poor and abraded.
Similar pendants in Ashley (Ashley, S 2002 Medieval Armorial Horse Furniture in Norfolk East Anglian Archaeology) are dated to the 13th to 14th centuries, for example Nos. 38 to 40. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
