Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy harness pendant, 13th-15th century. Lozenge-shaped harness pendant with sub-circular suspension loop projecting at 90° from one acute-angled corner. Although there is very little detail on the lozenge there is a thinning of the metal on one side (presumably the obverse) in a diagonal cross shape (saltire), which indicates it may have been decorated with an ?enamelled cross. The frame is slightly bent upwards across one line of the cross, making the lozenge dished on the obverse. The aperture in the loop is worn, narrowing at the top, making the aperture ovoid. No original surface, exposed surface red-brown. Length 42.79mm, width 26.7mm, thickness across pendant 1.76mm, loop width 5.6mm & thickness 1.2mm, diameter of perforation width 2.5mm & length 3.5mm, weight 5.26g.
