Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant and hanger. Both parts of this artefact are cast in the shape of a lozenge, with what may be a trilobate scallop shell or set of leaves protruding from each side. Each lozenge has a narrow outer border, inside which are dots. In the middle of each lozenge is a quatrefoil in low relief. The hinge is close-fitting and articulated, with a surviving copper alloy pin. The hanger is pierced by two holes for rivets, of which the lower survives as a fairly long spike. 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 |
