Description: | MED Ae gilt horse harness pendant, oval, with engraved and stamped decoration, slight break at foot. Blazon: A fess indented (or three and two half fusils (?intended for five fusils) co-joined in fess). The decoration on this probably late 12th/early 13th century pendant may be pseudo or proto-armorial and could relate to the arms of PERCY. Henry de Percy (d.1198) probably bore Azure a fess of five fusils Or. His son William bore fusils on his seal and his brother Richard (d.1244) bore Azure a fess of five fusils Argent (Tremlett, T.D., and London, H.S. 1967 ?Rolls of Arms of Henry III?, Aspilogia; Vol. 2, 46). | 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
