Description: | A copper-alloy harness pendant and attached suspension mount of probable 13th to 15th century AD date. The plate is symetrical and has four petals of equal size. The upper surface is decorated with the raised design of a fleur-de-lis. The recess between this and the outer rim was originally filled with blue enamel, traces of which survive. A suspension loop extends from the top of the plate and is set at right angles to it. It is attached to a suspension mount and has been set firm to the iron axis bar by corrosion. The mount is small and has a rounded upper edge. A small, slightly bent, integral rivet projects from the reverse and would have attached the pendant to a harness. Traces of silvering survive on the suspension mount, on the raised fleur-de-lis, and on the raised outer rim of the plate. The plate measures 37.5mm high by 27.7mm wide and 3.4mm thick. The overall height, including the suspension mount, is 46.1mm. The weight is 18.43g. | 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
