Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy medieval harness pendant. This pendant is formed of a sheet of copper-alloy which has been rolled to form a flaring tube and its two long edges have been soldered together forming a longitudinal seam. It measures 33mm in length and 5mm in width below the suspension loop and 9mm in width at its widest point. The suspension loop is set at 90 degrees to the plane of the pendant itself. Its lower edges have been folded over, and are now incomplete. It is likely that this pendant originally also functioned as a bell. Traces of gilding can be seen on this pendant. It is most likely to date to the 14th century. | 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
