Description: | Copper alloy horse harness pendant and incomplete pendant hanger. The hanger is a decorative rectangular bar of copper alloy with two looped arms at the terminal securing the harness pendant by a transverse rivet. The bar is D-shaped in cross-section and has two moulded collars at the broken end with a concave sides between. After the collars is a circular area with a hole through the centre.
The pendant is elaborate and consists of a frame in the form of a quatrefoil with a solid quatrefoil pendant suspended in the centre. The frame attaches to the hanger by a rivet, and has a moulded collar at each angle of the quatrefoil. The pendant itself attaches to the frame at the top, again by a rivet. The entire object shows signs of gilding, although most of it is now worn away. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
