Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant is triangular in shape, with a circular suspension loop projecting from one of the sides. There is a further leaf shaped element projecting from the lefthand side of the triangle. It is likely that a similar element once existed on the other side but due to the amount of wear and corrosion the break is no longer visible.
The triangular element is inscribed with two concentric triangles which form a border around the edge. There are traces of gilding surviving within these inscribed lines. The reverse is undecorated.
The surface of the metal is corroded, and has a patchy mid brown to light green patina.
An exact parallel for the harness pendant could not be found. | 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: | 1250
