Description: | Copper alloy medieval quatrefoil horse harness pendant. The pendant is quite worn but the decorative motif can still be seen on the front. The pendant depicts either a griffin or a dragon with front leg raised on a red enamelled background with a tiny amount of silver on the animal and the edge of the pendant; ?Gules a griffin/dragon passant argent?. It is difficult to distinguish which animal it is as the pendant is so worn, however both griffins and dragons have four legs as seen on this creature. The pendant has a circular suspension loop at the top which has been filled in over time. The pendant weighs 10.47g and measures 43.74mm in length, 32.19mm in width and 6.48mm in thickness. | 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
