Description: | The object is a Medieval harness pendant which is in poor condition. It is made from cast copper alloy and is decorated with red enamel.
In plan the pendant is a lozenge shape. One surface is decorated with red enamel in the field. What the red enamel is surrounding appears to be three cross-crosslets. There is a low relief central horizontal band and presumably the band once had a different coloured enamel decorating it. The reverse of the pendant is undecorated and is particularly corroded and pitted, and therefore has lost its original surface. The upper corner is slightly thickened in profile, but the re should be a loop here, which is now missing. It doesn?t appear to be a recent break.
It measures 36.4mm long, and is 29.3mm wide. It weighs 4.89g. | 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: | 1200
