Description: | A cast copper alloy shield-shaped harness pendant. The suspension loop, while small, is intact. The artefact is in good condition, with a dark green patina, and ochre-coloured patches of corrosion. I. Szymanski reports that some red enamel survives on the face, although this is not clear. Some gilding also survives. The face bears a design, cast in relief, of a lion rampant, facing left. Szymanski has provisionally identified this as the arms of the earls of Arundel. This artefact dates to the 13th or 14th century.
