Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant is circular in shape with six worn projections spaced evenly around the circumference. The attachment loop projects from the uppermost of these. It is incomplete with a worn break. The original form of the projections was probably tri-lobed, however they are now so worn that the form is not discernable. The original surface of the object has almost completely worn away, exposing the metal beneath; therefore what remains of any decoration is indistinct. It appears to consist of a small inner circle within a larger circular border. The reverse of the object appears undecorated. The object has a dark reddish brown patina. It dates to the 12-14th century. A parallel from East Anglia may be found in Ashley, 2002 page 24, figure 23, ref 231.
