Description: | Copper alloy sexfoil harness pendant/mount. There is a copper alloy rivet through one of the six projections, suggesting that this is a mount rather than a pendant. This projection is squared at the end, and decorated with a quatrefoil. None of the other projections appear to have been rivetted. Four of them are broken, while the last (at eight o'clock) is bent backwards and has a rounded terminal. The circular centre of the pendant/mount is decorated with a sexfoil (each petal corresponding with one of the projections) with traces of what may be niello (or dark enamel) inlay. The reverse is undecorated. 14th/15th century. Length 38.20mm, width 31.6mm, thickness (including rivet) 5.32mm, thickness (across centre) 2.50mm, weight 9.89g. | 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
