Description: | Complete Roman military horse harness pendant. In shape the pendant is a variant of the more commonly found classic heart-shape type. The body is sub-oval with an integral suspension loop at the top which contains the remains of an iron pin, that would have attached the object to a pendant hanger. The base of the object tapers into a vertical shaft, divided half of the way down by a horizontal collar and terminating with a circular shaped foot. The oval body of the object is moulded and painted with a symmetrical palmette design. Very similar examples without the decoration have been found at Colchester (Hawkes, C.F.C, & Hull, M.R. 1930-1939, Camulodunum , First Report on the Excavations at Colchester)
