Description: | A cast copper alloy square harness pendant and hanger, in fairly good condition. The pendant appears to still be connected to the hanger, although the end of the suspension loop appears narrow.The hinge is still intact, and the hanger is in good condition. The rounded hanger has a small, narrow body with four small knops on its sides: two either side of the top and two either side of the middle; these seem to be decorated with drops of blue enamel. the pendant has a broad, scalloped border around its edge, resembling a picture frame. In the centre is a quatrefoil flower, aligned diagonally, with small triangular projections between each petal. Both hanger and pendant retain some of their gilding. This artefact dates to the 13th to 15th centuries.
