Description: | A corroded and slightly damaged cast copper-alloy harness pendant of medieval date (c. 13th century). In form the artefact is rectangular, tending towards the square. The suspension loop is characteristically perpendicular to the main body of the pendant, emerging from the centre of the upper surface and protruding forwards slightly. It measures 10.6 by 5.35 by 2.0mm, and has been bent slightly to one side. It has a flattened top with rounded corners. Shadows of decoration survive on the upper surface: interwoven diagonals formed of double lines. There is a transverse groove just below the upper edge. The artefact has corroded to a red-brown colour with dustings of lighter corrosion product; the lower surface in particular is covered in light green corrosion product. The object has also been bent slightly in profile, in one corner in particular.
