Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy medieval harness pendant. The pendant is shield shaped in plan and flat in section. The front of the pendant is decorated with a recessed cross, that holds tiny traces of red enamel. There is no real evidence as to what decoration appeared in the fields created by the cross, but there are tiny flecks of gilt in three of the four fields. Gilt also survives to the top face of the mount. The transverse loop is entirely missing, leaving a small irregular knop where it has broken away from the pendant. The break edge is worn, suggesting this damage occurred in antiquity. The reverse of the pendant is plain. The object is abraded and has an even mid green patina. It is 23.6mm long, 17.18mm wide, 2.98mm thick and weighs 4.86g. It is 14th century in date. | 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
