Description: | A cast copper alloy quatrefoil harness pendant. The suspension loop is complete and the pendant is in fair condition. The surface is corroded and uneven, with a blotchy light green and brown colour. The face has integrally cast relief decoration in the form of a central crescent (points upward), with four six-pointed stars, one on each side. There seem to be several dots around the crescent as well. I. Szymanski reports that some blue enamel and silvering survives. The design clearly represents elements of the night sky; silver moon and stars against a blue background. 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 |
