Description: | Copper alloy lozenge shaped harness pendant of medieval date. Projecting from one corner is a suspension loop, and the pendant thickens at the junction with the suspension loop. The pendant is lozenge-shaped, and has a slightly convex upper surface and flat reverse so that it is broadly D-shaped in section. The upper surface has a plain, slightly raised linear border and is decorated with a slightly raised curvilinear design, probably an elaborate letter W. The recessed area within the border and surrounding the incised decoration is filled with a blue substance, probably enamel, laid down so that it is thicker than the upper surface of the border and letter W. There is a small area where the enamel has not survived. The border and letter may originally have been filled with another coloured decorative substance. Brown patina. Length 9.4 mm, width 7.1 mm, thickness 2.37 mm, diameter of hole 2 mm. | 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
