Description: | A late medieval shield-shaped horse harness pendant of cast copper alloy. The pendant has been suffered post-depositional damage, as it has been deformed bilaterally, and the heraldic design that once adorned its obverse face is now largely illegible. It is possible to discern part of the heraldic device known as a`'bend' (an oblique band), but this is a common device, and does not allow identificaction of the arms in general.The pendant features a small oval suspension loop, and is blank on the reverse. It measures 44mm long ('straightened' length) x 25mm wide x 2.1mm thick, and weighs 8.6g.
