Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant consists of a quatrefoil, with a transverse suspension loop at the top. The loop still contains the remains of the iron hinge pin; the mount is missing. The quatrefoil has a slight lip around the edge on the right side. The design is made in blue enamel, mostly without borders. To contain it, although part of the motif is raised on the right side. The motif is formed of three crowns, with a bishop?s crosier in the middle, extending down to the base of the image. The crowns and crosier would originally have been shiny gold coloured; the copper alloy is now worn, and dark brown. Patches of the enamel are lost, and there are small areas of some white substance on all parts of the artefact. This piece probably dates to between 1320 and 1500. | 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: | 1320
