Description: | A corroded and slightly damaged cast copper-alloy harness pendant of medieval date (c. 13th century). The artefact has an usual form: that of a pair of squares joined by a narrower central strip (8.45 by 5.7mm). The two squares feature a double border on their upper surfaces, within which rings, irregularly spaced. The rings and the borders have corroded to a different colour to the very dark red-brown of the artefact. On the upper surface there are also traces of gilding. The suspension loop is characteristically perpendicular to the main body of the pendant, protruding forwards slightly. It measures 13.9 by 6.8 by 1.75mm, and has been squashed. The artefact has also been bent down very slightly at its terminal in profile.
