Description: | Copper alloy military pendant. The pendant is still attached to its hanger. The hanger is not of the typical circular form, instead having a straight bar with two studs on the reverse for attachment to the leathers. Below the bar is a circular loop with two crescent extensions. The pendant hangs from the loop. The pendant is heart-shaped, broken at the base, and compared to other examples, would probably have had a trefoil termination (For example, see Webster, G. 1958, The Roman Military Advance under Ostorius Scapula, Archaeological Journal, 1958, Vol. CXV, p74, fig. 3, #31). The size of this pendant would suggest its use as a harness fitting rather than on a soldiers belt. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Adam Daubney | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
