Description: | A copper-alloy probable harness pendant most likely to be of medieval date. It is circular in shape with an integral suspension loop projecting at right angles to the plane of the pendant. It measures 20mm in total length and 14.5mm in width. The front face is decorated with concentric circular mouldings and has a circular hole through its centre.
Although this object is perhaps most likely to be a pendant another possiblity is that it is perhaps the lid of a box with the projecting pierced lobe allowing it to have been hinged onto the now missing lower half of the box originally. The exact function of this object therefore remains elusive but it is most likely to be medieval 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
