Description: | Copper alloy horse harness pendant, trefoil in shape. The round suspension loop sits at the top of the three sections at a right angle, with a wavy stem at the base. The base is slightly bent out of position. The trefoil is bordered by a slight rim running around the whole front. Each lobe is also decorated with a trefoil device in relief. There is a green patina on the small trefoil leaves and on the back, suggesting that the recessed sections around the design were coated with another material, possibly silver or tin, which offered some protection from corrosion. It measures 47.2mm x 34.6mm x 2.3mm, and weighs 11.30g. This pendant is most likely Medieval in date, and similar examples from the database are NMS-A4F8A2, SF-6A6245 and SOM-66B730. These all have the suspension loop where the stem is on this pendant, but the basic shape is the same. They generally date to between the 14th and 15th centuries AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
