Description: | Incomplete medieval copper-alloy horse harness pendant. It is cruciform in shape with a raised central square, three (originally four) arms projecting to the top, bottom, left (and right) of the object, and each arm terminates in a raised circular knop. The remains of a broken suspension loop also projects outwards from the top circular knop. No decoration is visible on the front of this pendant but a quantity of gilding has survived, especially on the arms. The reverse is flat and plain. The break edges are worn and the surface pitted with very little of the original surface surviving. It measures 36mm long, 26mm wide, 5mm thick and weighs 7.2g. Similar cruciform pendants can be found in Clark, J. 1995. The Medieval Horse and its Equipment c. 1150-c.1450, page 68, figure 50, refs 67-69.
