Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant in the shape of a shield. The small loop survives intact. A design is cast into the face, in the form of what may be a lion lying down (couchant). Its legs appear to have either very long claws or else blend with palm-like fronds. Above the body are two leafy branches. The surface is apparently in good condition. This artefact probably dates to the 13th or 14th century. (Identified from a photograph.)
