Description: | A copper-alloy harness pendant. The pendant is circular with a floral motif of eight petals in the center of the object. Red enamel is found in between the petals and blue enamel surrounds the petal tips, separating the floral motif from the outer edges of the object. Four decorated lobes, which may have been enamelled remain attached to the object, and there may have been one, two, or three additional lobes that broke off the object over the course of its use. There is no indication of clear breakages, suggesting the lobes broke off during the pendant's use, and these sharp edges may have been smoothed before the object was lost. The loop or hook from which the pendant hung has also broken off, but a shank remains visible. The back or underside is smooth and flat.
