Description: | 14th century Medieval cast copper alloy horse harness pendant. The pendant is quatrefoil shaped, with a right angle protruding at each corner giving the pendant a rectangle-on-quatrefoil appearance, which is particularly worn on the lower right hand side. There is an integral circular suspension loop above, which is set at a right angle to the profile of the pendant. The suspension loop is 7.05mm in diameter and makes the length total length of the pendant 41.52mm. The pendant has a maximum width of 21.59mm wide and is 2.64mm thick. The decoration on the front of the pendant is very worn, with the outline of a square just visible containing traces of blue enamel. The foot of an animal, probably a lion can be seen in the lower left hand corner of this central field. Fleur-de-Lis protrude from each side of the square, one clearly visible below the suspension loop, the other sides are less clear. This outer field contains several very small traces of red enamel. The reverse of the pendant is plain and undecorated. A similar example of this pendant design with the enamel colours reversed is SWYOR-065E16. | 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
