Description: | Medieval decorative gilded cast copper alloy harness pendant hanger, 13th or 14th century. Circular openwork disc, slightly convex on the obverse & concave on the reverse, with ten unevenly shaped and placed piercings (possibly based on a debased lion rampant?), and traces of gilding on the obverse. There is an integral projecting stud on the reverse which is slightly bent upwards and to the left - this would have attached the hanger to the harness. A pair of loops holding a copper alloy rivet project from one edge, and would have held the harness pendant. Length 30.38mm, width 22.68mm, thickness (including stud) 8.54mm, length of stud 6.52mm, weight 5.87g. | 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
