Description: | A cast copper alloy shield-shaped harness pendant. The suspension loop is intact. The pendant is in fairly good condition, although no gilding survives and only a few traces of black enamel survive on the face. The face bears the design of a lion rampant, facing left, with a forked tail. I. Szymanski has identified this as probably being the arms of either a Yorkshire knight, Edmund le Wasteneys of Thorngumbald and Staffordshire (a collared silver lion), or else the Kingston family of Wiltshire (a gold lion). This artefact dates to the 13th or 14th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
