Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant is incomplete, although the suspension loop survives intact. The pendant appears to have a smooth dark green patina. The face bears integrally-cast or punched decoration: three narrow, (roughly) vertical bands with a chain or braided pattern divide up the face. Between these are closely-spaced segmented roundels, each divided into six segments. The edges of the pendant are all apparently broken and irregular. The reverse seems to have two shallow ridges, running vertically, fairly close together; alternatively these may represent the edges of a multi-facetted reverse. No gilding survives. This artefact dates to the 13th to 15th centuries. Recorded from photographs. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | ANDREWS, Dominic - Illustrator | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
