Description: | A copper-alloy medieval octagonal horse harness pendant. The pendant's eight arms are alternating scallop shells and fleur des lis with the suspension loop at a right angle to the plane of the object above a scallop shell. The central field is split into four by a voided cross. Within each angle of the cross is an enammelled blue heart. Traces of gilding remain on the front of the pendant. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Octagonal and elaborate pendants illustrated in Ashley (2002, 24; 224-235) are dated to the 14th century and this example is also likely to be of this 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
