Description: | Medieval harness pendant; Cast copper alloy lozenge-shaped harness pendant of probable late 13th or 14th century date. The pendant shows a grotesque figure with a human head towards the top left of the pendant but a beast??s body, with a leg to the bottom right and a tail curling up over the back. The back face of the pendant is undecorated. The remains of a suspension loop, in the perpendicular plane to the pendant, can be seen extending from the top of the pendant. The loop has broken off across what would have been a perforation for suspension. The lozenge-shaped plate is now concave in shape
Length 36.7mm, width 27.9mm, thickness 1.3mm, weight 6.05g
This artefact is very similar to other known harness pendants with this design, such as one recorded on the PAS database as NM-6B42E2 (which is also illustrated and described on page 106 of the PAS annual report for 2006). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rohde, Anja | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
