Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant, apparently in the shape of a heraldic eagle. The suspension loop is complete. The pendant is flat and very thin. The design appears to be an eagle with wings outstretched and beak pointing upwards, set within what was originally a circle. The circle now only survives as top and bottom portions, and was engraved with a double line within which was a zig-zag. The bird seems also to have had line decoration. The surface is corroded and is light yellowish verdigris in colour. There are indications of gilding on parts of the surface. This artefact dates to the 13th to 15th centuries.
