Description: | A Medieval copper alloy square harness pendant. The pendant has a central suspension loop at the top. The front is decorated with a raised design of a lion passant on a blue enamel ground. The head is unclear so it is uncertain as to whether it is guardant or not. The lion is set within a circle and both the lion and the area outside the circle are gilded. The back is plain and has a patchy light green patina. It measures 27.7mm x 17.4mm x 2.9mm, weighing 5.17g. Similar examples on the database are NLM-E16757 and SF-891E43, which date this type of Heraldic pendant to 1250-1450AD.
