Description: | Casr opper-alloy heraldic horse-harness pendant in the shape of a shield. The arms are in the form of three chevrons, graduated in size from top to bottom, and still filled with the remains of red enamel. The suspension loop is circular in profile and complete.
These arms have been previously identified (Gilbert, 1838, p.316) as belonging to the Lambaron family of Cornwall, who lived at Lambourn (from 'lan' and 'bron' or 'hilled enclosure') Manor in Perranzabuloe from at least as far back as the time of Henry II (1154-1189), when the knight, Sir John de Lambron held his seat there. In 1431 Sir John Arundell V married the heiress Amara (or Annora) Lambourn, took on the manor and changed the coat of arms by adding a fess between two chevrons, suggesting that this pendant is likely to pre-date this and belongs to the 14th century.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar example with a chevron and three roundels, attributed to a Cornwall family, on page 92, No.566, which is dated to the 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
