Description: | Roman or Medieval copper alloy harness pendant, 41mm high, 34mm wide and 3mm thick. The pendant is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 5.45 grams. The object is slightly curved in section, forming a shallow hollow, and is crescent shaped. Although it is missing both ends of the crescent it appears that it may have turned in on itself, almost forming a circle. It has a central suspension loop, 8mm long and 6mm wide. Directly below the loop, on the inner edge of the object, is a circular hole, 4mm in diameter which must have held a suspended inner pendant. Although the suspension loop seems Medieval in style, there is a similar, flat example which dates to the Roman period in Read, B. Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, which suggest this may be Roman as well.
