Description: | Cast copper alloy medieval horse harness pendant. The pendant has a suspension loop at the top set at a right angle to the plane of the object. The main body is circular with a flat back, and a domed, decorative front. The front decoration is moulded and in the form of a facing money. Only the head is depicted. The eye brows are heavily moulded and thick, the eyes are two large pellets and the snout is broad and extended forward. The lips are also large and crescentric. There are moulded ribs behind the face that looks like the mane of a lion.
A few similar pendants have been noted by Nick Griffiths, and all of them are quite chunky. The face is probably meant to be a lion, though they look somewhat like a monkey. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
