Description: | A copper-alloy lozengiform medieval horse harness pendant. The pendant has a complete suspension loop turned at 90 degrees to the plain of the object. The field of the pendant is adorned with a ram's head. It is likely that the field around the ram would have been enamelled, although no enamel remains. Slight traces of gilding remain on the ram's head. The reverse of the pendant is unadorned. It seems likely that this pendant is not strictly heraldic, but is a more informal badge. The pendant measures 46 mm high including the suspension loop. It is 33.5 mm wide and 2.9 mm thick. | 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
