Description: | A very fine cast copper alloy shield-shaped harness pendant with remnants of enamelling surviving on the surface. The pendant consists of a shield shaped plate of copper-alloy, with the suspension loop still attached. The loop is intact and sits proud of the pendant. The surface of the pendant is heavily corroded, therefore resulting in the lose of much of the the original surface. The enamel appears to have been red (gules), but it has largely crystallised. The design is set within a border, it features three lions passant. No gilding survives.
This type of harness pendant date to the medieval period and are circa late 13th ?? 14th century in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
