Description: | Incomplete copper alloy octofoil horse harness pendant. The body of the pendant is circular with a recessed fleur-de-lys in the centre. Surrounding the fleur-de-lys are raised pellets. There are eight arms projecting from the main body, which have circular terminals. These circular terminals would have had some kind of moulded decoration, however they are too worn to describe. Only two of the arms survive in completeness. The uppermost arm would have attached the pendant to the hanger. The object has been silvered.A similar example from South Lincolnshire is illustrated in Read, 2001, p56, number 447.
