Description: | A cast copper alloy horse harness pendant of medieval date. The scallop-shaped harness pendant measures 46.47mm in length, 33.91mm in width, it is 1.5mm thick and weighs 7.85g. At the narrow end there is a suspension loop which is turned through ninety degrees. The front is gilded and has been decorated with pairs of incised parallel lines, which radiate downwards from the suspension loop to each curve of the scallop. The curves are also decorated with pairs of parallel lines and there are three further lines just below and perpendicular to the suspension loop. The back is undecorated and slightly concave. Similar harness pendants on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database include NMS-5FEE81 from Narborough, Norfolk and NMS-CD5032 from Hoe, Norfolk. Both have been dated to the twelfth or thirteenth century AD.
