Description: | A worn copper alloy harness pendant which dates from the medieval period. The pendant is shield shaped with an integral projecting loop at the top which is at right angles to the pendant. The pendant is decorated with traces of enamel of indeterminate colour in the form of a chevron. There may be creatures in the three spaces but the pendant is too poorly preserved to be certain of this. Harness pendants are discussed in the "Finds Research Group Datasheet 5: Horse harness Pendants" by Nick Griffiths (1986) and he writes that shield shaped pendants normally date from the fourteenth century
