Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant, roughly circular in shape. The face has an apparently abstract design, being divided horizontally into four tall narrow lozenges, by what seem to be engraved lines. Within the lozenges are numerous decorative small punched circles. The centre of the pendant is pierced by a hole which may have originally held a decorative rivet. The small suspension loop survives intact. The surface has a smooth verdigris patina, with traces of gilding in the punched and engraved decoration. This artefact probably dates to the 13th or 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | ANDREWS, Dominic - Illustrator | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
