Description: | Small copper-alloy horse-harness pendant, roughly oval with a small suspension loop projecting from the centre of one of the long sides. The design consists of a hexagon with incurved edges, inside which is a six-petalled flower inlaid with red enamel. Between the flower and the raised edge of the hexagon there is gilding laid over a dotted background. The narrow ends of the oval are formed from circular perforations set into the incurved edges of the hexagon. Along the other four edges, along the top and bottom of the pendant, are small projections. This pendant is not heraldic, just decorative. The function of the two perforations is unclear.
