Description: | A cast copper alloy shield-shaped harness pendant. The suspension loop is broken, and the surface is heavily corroded, although the edges are not rough. A few small patches of gilding remain, apparently along with a few scraps of red enamel. I. Szymanski reports that it is possible to make out elements of a lion rampant (perhaps gold on a red background), and tentatively identifies this as the crest of the FitzAlan family. This artefact dates to the 13th or 14th century.
