Description: | A cast shield shaped pendant with 'square' corners pointed end and integral loop attached to a rectangular attachment plate via a pin bar and double pin bar lugs, which are cast-in-one with the plate. The plate is oriented so that one long side forms the attachment edge; the lugs and plate are of copper-alloy but the bar is made of highly corroded iron; the plate is folded over on to the back of the pendant therefore the reverse of the plate and part of the pendant are largely obscured, however the outer long edge has a small integrally cast lug protruding from the reverse . Both plate and pendant have a small amount of gilding remaining on the front surfaces; the front of the pendant is decorated with a moulded raised border and three moulded slightly raised crescents, two above one below all with points upwards; the crescents appear to have been gilded and the depression surrounding them enamelled, although the enamelling is too degraded to suggest what colour it might have been. There is a large crack across the pendant between the lower and upper crescents. The pendant is 20.29mm in length and the plate 14.06 x 11.73mm, the measurement for length given below includes the loop, width given below is at widest point on pendant. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
