Description: | Incomplete Medieval horse harness pendant in the form of an equal-armed cross, one arm (that which would have terminated in the suspension loop) missing. The terminals of the three arms are rounded and slightly raised. In the centre an equally low square boss is pierced (from the reverse) by a round aperture. This, on the evidence of a very similar piece from Carleton Rode (HER 36537), would have held a decorative rivet. The centre is raised above the level of the ends of the arms (i.e. the longitudinal profile is curved), but the reverse is otherwise featureless. Rather worn, almost certainly once gilded. Width 34mm. Probably 12th century.
