Description: | Cast copper alloy medieval horse harness pendant and hanger. The hanger is shield-shaped and has an incomplete loop at one end, and suspension arms at the other formed by folding the plate over onto the reverse. The surface of the hanger is decorated with a gilded 'V-shape' formed by two pairs of lines. The gilding appears to have filled the plate to either side but not between the motif.The pendant has a long stem with a looped terminal. The main plate is shield shaped and decorated with four vertical ribs in the form of a scallop shell. There is evidence of surface gilding. The reverse is concave.
