Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy circular pendant of probable Late Medieval or Early Post Medieval date (AD1400 ? AD 1600). Length 28mm, diameter 26mm and 1.3mm thick. Weight 4.49g. The suspension loop at the top of the pendant is broken and the two breaks appear to be old. A central circular area is defined by a moulded ring which is 16mm in diameter. Within this area is a moulded bearded bust with shoulder-length hair, facing forward. Surrounding the central area is a border of sixteen equally spaced motifs in the form of small annulets within which are central pellets. The edge of the pendant has a raised rim that is similar in form to the central moulded ring. The reverse is flat and plain. The pendant is corroded and has active bronze disease deposits. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
