Description: | Copper alloy openwork pendant of medieval date. At the top there is a circular suspension loop. At the junction between the suspension loop and the main body of the object there is a large sub-oval protruding knob (L. 8.28mm. Th. 3.66mm). From this junction there are two sub-rectangular elements (L. 9.24mm. W. 6.81mm), each with a rivet hole, and between them a sub-rectangular space into which the lower portion of the suspension loop is fixed, so that the two elements which originally have held rotated at this point. The main body (L. 33.65mm. W. 23.98mm. Th. 3.89mm) then expands into an elaborate quatrefoil, now badly bent. The upper surface is generally convex and the inner edges are bevelled so that is broadly D-shaped in section. On the upper surface there is moulded decoration in the form of a transverse ridge at each corner. There are traces of gilding on one inner edge. The reverse is flat. Patchy brown patina.
