Description: | Cast copper-alloy horse-harness pendant in the shape of a fleur-de-lis. There is an integral suspension loop protruding from the top of the central leaf. The hole is perpendicular to the pendant. The front of the pendant is moulded to define the two side leaves and a horizontal collar towards the base. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The pendant is 26.1mm long and 15.8mm wide. The surface has a slightly rough texture and is a red/brown colour. The pendant is medieval, and Griffiths suggests these are dated from the 12th to 14th centuries. This example, due to its shape, is likely to be 14th century.
