Description: | MED Ae gilt horse harness pendant, oval, with engraved and stamped decoration, slight break at foot. Blazon: A fess indented (or three and two half fusils (?intended for five fusils) co-joined in fess). The decoration on this probably late 12th/early 13th century pendant may be pseudo or proto-armorial and could relate to the arms of PERCY. Henry de Percy (d.1198) probably bore Azure a fess of five fusils Or. His son William bore fusils on his seal and his brother Richard (d.1244) bore Azure a fess of five fusils Argent (Tremlett, T.D., and London, H.S. 1967 'Rolls of Arms of Henry III', Aspilogia; Vol. 2, 46). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
