Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant is rectangular, with traces of gilding remaining in one corner. The majority of the surface decoration is obscured by corrosion product, however an incised double linear border is visible. The reverse is undecorated, but is covered in short striated impressions, which appear to be organic in nature, similar to the voids in grass tempered pottery. The attachment loop is complete and placed centrally at right angles to the pendant. The top left corner of the pendant is folded over. The metal surface has a powdery light green patina. The pendant is 12th-13th century in 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: | 1100
