Description: | A copper alloy shield shaped harness pendant with a pierced circular suspension loop above the centre of the top edge (pierced from side to side). The decoration on the pendant is likely to have contained enamel which is now lost. The surrounding raised copper alloy surfaces survive and have a red patina (it is uncertain if this is due to the survival of overlying red enamel). The shield appears to have had three or four rectangular fields in the upper part, and three diagonal bends in the lower part. No traces of gilding are visible but a black layer may suggest the presence of silvering.
