Description: | A cast copper-alloy lozenge shaped horse harness pendant, which has an openwork design. The lozenge frame is decorated on the side and bottom corners with trefoils. Each one is pierced. There is also a pierced hole on the top corner, but this is where the integrally cast suspension lugs are situated. There is a horizontal collar across the top and then the two lugs project upwards. The lugs are pierced and the remains of an iron pin can be seen in each hole. Traces of gilding can also be seen, on the heavily corroded and pitted surface. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour.
