Description: | A copper-alloy incomplete harness pendant most likely to be of medieval date. This pendant is crescent shaped with one terminal end missing due to old breaks, it measures 46mm in length and 38mm in width. It has an integral oval shaped central suspension loop set at right angles to the pendant. The pendant has a rounded convex front face and a hollow concave backface. Through the edge directly opposing the suspension loop there is a circular hole. The surviving terminal tapers towards its tip which is slightly waisted and then rounded at its end. There are traces of gilding on the front face of the pendant. There copper-alloy is a reddish brown in colour with patches of a green/brown orignal surface surviving. No parallel could be found for this pendant.
