Description: | A copper-alloy harness pendant of medieval date. Shield-shaped pendant probably dating from the 13th or 14th century AD. The shield measures 22.8mm wide by 28.3mm high and 2.2mm thick. It is decorated on its upper surface with a repeating pattern of inverted "V-shaped" recessed cells which decrease in size towards the bottom. These cells are filled alternately with blue and green enamel (largely intact), although the two empty cells, one located at each of the two top corners, appear to contain traces of red. The suspension loop is set at right angles to the plate and is damaged and incomplete. The overall height of the object is 33.8mm. The weight is 5.04g. | 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
