Description: | Incomplete and very corroded horse harness pendant of Medieval date, possibly fourteenth century. The breaks are old. Length 32mm, width 30mm and 0.8mm thick. Weight 3.10g. When complete the pendant would have been quatrefoil shaped with an integral perforated lug at the top for suspension. The lug is broken or corroded. It is slightly convex at the front and concave at the rear. The front may have originally been decorated with an heraldic design. However, such a design is no longer visible due to corrosion. Small patches of patina do survive at the front and these bear traces of gilding. The surface metal at the rear is exfoliating. | 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: | 1300
