Description: | Damaged double-sided silver pendant with on one side, bust of Charles I in profile. On the other side, three-quarter face of his consort Henrietta Maria. Decorative border damaged at top and bottom which would probably have had mounts for attachment. A well-known type dating to the Civil War period. Some examples (eg TAR 2003, no. 274) with ownership initials or arms, suggesting that these pendants were worn to show Royalist allegiance. The portraits are from Medallic Illustrations, I, p. 357, 223 and p. 348, 203.
