Description: | Shield-shaped harnes pendant with suspension loop. The loop has twisted so it does not sit in its original position. The obverse of the panel depicts the image of a swan or pelican rising with inverted wings. This represents poetry and harmony and was often the charge of a knight who was musical. The reverse is undecorated. Traces of gilding remain on the decoration. | 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: | 1066
