Description: | The pendant and its mount is heavily abraded and neither component is complete. The pendant is a sub-rectangular shape, but this is likely not to be the original shape. The upper surface of the pendant is in high-relief, but the design is not visible. A trace of gilding is visible on this surface. Protruding from the upper edge of the pendant is an integral loop which is perpendicular to the pendant. The loop is connected to a second component which allow the pendant to be mounted onto a strap. The mount portion is connected by a horizontal circular section thread of copper alloy which is held in place at each terminal by a folded sheet of copper alloy. These folded sheets are integral to a plate of copper alloy which has an incomplete rivet hole placed centrally along the upper edge of the mount. The surfaces of these components are heavily abraded and poor. | 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: | 1100
