Description: | Copper alloy medieval horse-harness pendant. This pendant is thin and circular, and flat in cross-section, having a diameter of 13.54mm and being 1.24mm thick. The transverse suspension loop comes at the end of a long, tapering, rectangular-section neck that has a total length of 16.48mm. The object is in poor condition and no evidence of decoration survives, although one face appears to have some form of coating, perhaps very decayed gilding. Much of the original surface is missing and the object is now dark brown and light green in colour. The object has an overall length of 31.28mm and weighs 1.46g. Its flimsy nature probably points to it coming early in the series of horse-harness pendants, perhaps 12th or 13th century.
