Description: | The pendant is shaped as a bird, a hawk or an eagle, looking upwards with its wings semi-splayed either side of its body, a flared tail protruding from the bottom of the body and a leg protrudes between the tail and wing on the right-hand side, the other leg is missing. There is high-relief detail on the wings and body representing feathers. The tip of the head/beak is broken, however the item is shaped so there is a slight protrusion which is angled at 90° to the pendant. It is from this broken protrusion a possible identification of harness pendant has been made. The reverse of the pendant is plain, however, on a fragment of remaining patina gilt is visible, otherwise the pendant has no patina remaining.
