Description: | Medieval Copper alloy Horse harness pendant, 47mm high and 39mm wide. The harness consists of an upper loop, 12mm high, which emerges from the body of the mount as a flat sheet but then quickly becomes circular in section. The mount is rectangular and has a raised border 4mm wide. Inside this border is an embossed depiction of a griffin. It faces left and has one front paw raised. It has thin wings and a curvy tail with a pointed end. Its head is small with long ears protruding from the back. The work is very cartoon like with little detail. There is a single fixing hole centred along the lower edge inside the border. The mount has no traces of enamel or colour. | 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
