Description: | A copper-alloy object which probably represents a harness pendant of medieval date. No parallel could be found for this piece, but its general form suggests that it is most likely to fit into the category of a 12th to 14th century pendant.The suspension loop is located at the centre of the top edge of the pendant and is set at right angles to it. It consists of a small circular plate with a central hole. The top section of the pendant consists of a rectangular plate, decorated by four incised horizontal lines; this gives way below to two vertical prongs either, which lie one either side of a central vertical gap. The reverse of the object is plain.The object measures 27.6mm long by 10.2mm wide and 7.5mm thick. The weight is 3.53g.
