Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant with a diamond shape. The suspension loop is present but bent back. Traces of gilding and enamel remain on the face; the design has a blue background, with a tall rectangle (perhaps a letter 'I'), above which is a crown- these symbols were gilded. I. Szymanski suggests that this may be the badge of a chapel of St. Mary in Ipswich; the design was the symbol used on pilgrim ampullae produced in Ipswich. This artefact dates to the 13th to 15th centuries.
