Description: | Copper-alloy pendant, probably dating to the early post-medieval period. The object is symmetrical with a suspension loop at the top. It is 37 mm in length and 25 wide. On each of its sides are three globular lugs, the ones in the centre slightly smaller than those at the top and bottom. At the bottom of the pendant is a small lug. The centre of the object, from which the lugs protrude is lonzenge shaped. This lonzenge is decorated with the image of a figure in relief. The figure appears to be holing a sword in its right hand and a shield in its left. A border surrounds the figure in which traces of red enamel are evident. There are also traces of gilding on the figure. The reverse of the object is worn but undecorated. The style of the artefact suggests that it may be late 16th or early 17th century in date. | 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: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
