Description: | Incomplete and corroded heraldic horse harness pendant of Medieval date, possibly thirteenth or fourteenth century (AD 1200 ? AD 1400). Length 21mm, width 18mm and 1.0mm thick. Weight 2.03g. The pendant was probably circular in plan, when complete. The front face bears a shield which appears to be charged with a quatrefoil motif. The rear face is plain and flat. Only a small portion of the suspension loop shaft survives. There are minute traces of gilding on the front. The piece is in poor condition with small areas of active bronze disease. | 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
