Description: | Enamelled and gilt copper alloy horse harness pendant. The pendant is flat, octagonal in plan and is missing its suspension loop at the top. From each diagonal side projects a moulded flat trefoil. The face of the pendant is decorated with a moulded life-like human face set on a blue enamelled background. The face is male, rather long and has shoulder-length hair running down either side of the face depicted by a rope-like line. The male wears a crown decorated with a large oval jewel in the centre and a smaller one to either side. The top of the head is visible above the crown and so the entire face is depicted as slightly downward angled. The reverse is undecorated. The surface has been gilded.
