Description: | A copper-alloy horse harness pendant of Medieval date. Griffiths (1986: 1) suggests that square pendants, such as this piece, probably date mainly from the 13th century.
The pendant comprises a roughly square plate with a rounded hanger set at ninety degrees to the centre of the top side. Due to corrosion, the nature of the device is uncertain. The pendant is also slightly bent in places.
The object measures 39.4mm long, 28.6mm wide and 7.7mm thick. The weight is 8.36g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
