Description: | A copper-alloy pendant suspension mount and pendant, 35mm in length and 11mm in width. The pendant suspension mount has a roughly semi-circular shaped part and its top edge has been divided into five semi-circular knops, which seem to represent foliage of some kind, each of these knops has a central longditudinal groove running up its front face and traces of gilding can be seen. On the back face of this semi-circular part there is a rivet, which has been cast with the suspension mount. Below this the suspension mount narrows into a rectangular neck and then flares into the hinge. A bar through the hinge attaches it to the suspension loop of the pendant, which is set at a 90 degree angle to the plane of the pendant. The pendant itself is small and is formed of three projections, which appear to be incomplete due to old breaks. The traces of a design and gilding can be seen on its front face whilst the back face is undecorated. This pendant and its suspension mount are medieval in date. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
