Description: | A copper alloy heraldic horse harness pendant (13th-14th century). A shield-shaped pendant with suspension loop. The suspension loop is turned through a 90-degree angle to the pendant. The design in blue enamel shows an animal rearing up to the left with a tail. It is probably armorial and is similar in size and style to no. 42 (Ashley 2002:10) that is dated to the 13th -14th century. Brown patina with patches of powdery pale green. No traces of gilding or silvering remain and areas of the enamel are worn away. Dimensions: length: 32.07mm; width: 20.09mm; weight: 6.34g. Ashley, S. 2002.
