Description: | A cast copper alloy rectangular harness pendant. The suspension loop is intact, but the artefact is in poor condition. The surface has a blotchy light green and light brown patina. The bottom right portion of the square is bent right back on itself. The bottom left corner is broken off, and a notch has been cut into the left edge. Small amounts of gilding survive on the face, and it was probably all gilded originally. The face has a simple abstract design, made up of very small punched rings arranged in lines. There is an outer line inside the four sides; within this are two wobbly concentric circles. Roughly in the centre is a perforation to take a rivet. This artefact dates to the 13th or 14th century.
