Description: | A Medieval copper-alloy complete heraldric harness pendant or mount of c. 13-14th century date. The pendant is trefoil in shape and slightly convex, although this could be the result of post depositional processes. An attachment hock protrudes from the centre of the reverse by 17.2mm and is bent to a 45 degree angle. The front face of the pendant has a heraldic device consisting of a shield in the centre of the trefoil. This appears to be decorated with the badge of the Fitz Walter family. There are two bend (triangular) designs, one above the other, separated by a solid horizontal bar. There are traces of red enamel in the bends and the bar. In each of the three lobes of the trefoil there are three leaf designs emerging from the corners of the shield. There are traces of blue enamel surrounding these leaves. The pendant is 40.1mm long. 39.2mm wide, 3.1mm thick and weighs 27.3g.
