Description: | Medieval copper alloy harness pendant, 40mm long, 30mm wide and 6mm thick. The object is in fair conditioon with a green/red patina and weighs 8.16grams. The object consists of a circular plate which has scalloped edges and has a raised circular hollow boss, 10mm in diameter, in its centre. The surface is divided into 15 sections, corresponding to the scalloping which are alternately decorated with a series of curved incised lines. Because of the odd number the upper part of the pendant has two areas of these curved lines which sit underneath the suspension loop. This consists of two rectangular sectioned shafts about 4mm wide which rise vertically away from the top and eventually join in a rounded end. The loop has been folded over itself to accomodate a circular sectioned shaft which would have acted as a hinge. The pendant has two circular holes, 3mm in diameter, one placed directly below the loop and the other directly opposite it on the other side of the boss. The object is plain on its reverse but has traces of gilding in several places on its front. | 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
