Description: | Complete copper alloy harness pendant frame of Medieval, thirteenth or fourteenth century date. Length 51mm, width 34mm and about 4mm thick. Weight 12.51g. The frame has six foils, each of which is divided on the outer edge by a small pointed moulding. It has an integral suspension loop turned through 90 degrees. There is the remains of a pin in the loop which may be made of iron. The inner sexfoil pendant which was suspended within the frame by a transverse pin is broken and missing. However, the pin remains intact and appears to be made of iron. The break is old. The small part of the inner pendant that survives is fused to the frame within the suspension lugs. The front of the pendant has traces of gilding. The rear side is flat and no trace of gilding can be seen. | 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: | 1200
