Description: | Cast copper alloy Medieval horse harness pendant. The pendant is blackened and distorted, possibly from being burnt. It is square with a central piercing and a triangular suspension arm rising from one side topped by a transverse loop. The square plate has a narrow, flat outer rim decorated with a row of stamped rings. The centre has now bent but squared off folds in each corner suggest it was always convex with a square sided pyramid rising to a central circular hole. The plate is now 18.8mm wide by 28.0mm long and 0.8mm thick, the arm is 11.9mm long and 6.9mm wide at the base, the loop is 4.9mm wide. It weighs 5.12 grams. Square pendants date from the 13th or 14th century AD (Griffiths 1986:1) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
