Description: | A copper alloy medieval horse harness pendant. The pendant is circular with a triangular projection at the top. There is a rivet through the projection which attaches a separate lozenge shaped piece which doubles the thickness of the projection. The lozenge shaped piece extends up into a loop which is at ninety degrees to the pendant and which makes the pendant 37.4mm long. The pendant is domed and has a hollow back. The dome is the widest and thickest part of the pendant at 25.3mm wide and 6.7mm thick. The front is gilded, most of the gilt survives, and is decorated with three recessed lines which cross in the middle dividing the dome into six unequal sections. The back of the pendant is evenly dark brown, but the front is patchy dark and light green and corroded. The pendant dates from the medieval period. | 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
