Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant, with traces of a gilded surface surviving. The pendant is flat, circular and the copper alloy in very thin. The pendant is twisted and bent out of shape and the surfaces and the edges are very worn and corroded. The detail on the pendant can not be seen due to a build up of corrosion on the surface. The attachment loop is set at a 90° angle to the pendant. The loop is circular and pierced and survives intact. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour, but it is very patchy due to the level of corrosion on the surface.This type of harness pendant is one of the earliest examples and is therefore 12th century in date.
