Description: | A cast copper-alloy possible harness pendant of the Roman period.
The object consists of an openwork disc with a central shank emerging perpendicularly and ending in a suspension loop.
The openwork disc has a circular outer border and hemispherical central boss, with an open pointed oval radiating from the boss to the border in each quarter, creating an appearance of a four-petaled flower.
The shank is cylindrical with a thickening at the head where it is perforated to suspend. The suspension loop is damaged.
The closest parallels to this object are harness pendants of the late Iron Age and early Roman period, though these are generally decorated with triskele openwork design rather than floral (e.g. NCL-970F06; NCL-91CA92; SWYORK-69FBC5). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
