Description: | Copper alloy decorative horse harness pendant. The pendant is quatrefoil in shape with a suspension loop at the top and has the remains of a bird (possibly an eagle) motif on the front. The bird is facing the front but has its head turned back over its shoulder. The background has remains of blue enamel and part of the bird looks to have been decorated with red enamel. The motif is not a heraldic one but is more likely to be a family badge although these are difficult to track down as relatively few are known and are mainly only associated with the very wealthy. | 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
