Description: | Medieval copper alloy harness pendant, 65mm long and 33mm wide. The object consists of two articulated parts, the first is made up of a circle with a plain central raised boss. this is decorated with an incised circle along the edge of the boss, which has incised triangles protruding to the edges, which resemble a star. the gaps in between this are decorated with punched circles. It has a rivet hole top and bottom, the bottom rivet is intact, and at its base there is a folded hinge, 12mm in length, holding a pin in place. A larger circle is attached to this pin with a suspension loop. The larger circle has the same design as the first part but is more oval in shape, it also has four round lobes, one of which is missing, in each 'corner'. The whole object has been gilded, most has worn off but is well preserved around the punched circles. There is a rivet at the base of the larger circle which cuts through the design and so was probably added later, the rivet is still present. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
