Description: | Gilt copper alloy horse harness pendant. The pendant is an elaborate quatrefoil, with a right angle protruding at each corner giving the pendant a rectangle-on-quatrefoil appearance. There is an integral suspension loop above, which is set at a right angle to the profile of the pendant. The face of the pendant is decorated with a dragon rampant, going left. The dragon has an upturned tail with a thick mace-like tip. The left leg is visible and is depicted with a row of large strands of hair or feathers draping off it. The foot of the dragon has four large talons. The body of the dragon has scales and the wings are depicted open. The left wing consists of four large triangular panels, whilst the right appears to have five. The head of the dragon is unclear, however the downward curved beak, eyes and ears are visible. The reverse is plain.
