Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant in the shape of a heraldic eagle. The decoration is represented in shallow relief and is integral to the casting. The suspension loop is small and complete. The eagle is represented with wings outstretched and open beak pointing left, feet apart and tail flattened horizontally, giving the pendant a squarish shape. The pendant is an openwork design with apertures between feet and tail, under the wings and either side of the head. The detail of the head is fairly well represented. This artefact dates to the 13th to 15th centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | ANDREWS, Dominic - Illustrator | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
