Description: | Enamelled copper alloy horse harness pendant. The pendant is shield shaped and has an integral loop at the top. The face of the shield is decorated with a bird going right with a long curved open beak. The wings are a pointed oval and both the wings and the rear of the bird are decorated with spots. The body of the bird is filled with red enamel. The head is slender and there appears to be a plume at the back of the head. The wing decoration is similar to that of a peacock whereas the long curved beak suggests a pelican. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
