Description: | A copper alloy Medieval harness pendant. It has a cruciform shape, with lobed terminals to each arm of the cross, forming a quatrefoil. There is a perforation through the centre, circular at the front but hexagonal on the back surface. This would have taken a stud, probably to hold a strap or ribbon. (Griffiths in Clark ed.1995,no.59) The loop for suspension extends from the upper lobed arm and is turned at ninety degrees. There are traces of gilding on the outer surface. The pendant measures 44.41mm in length, 33.16mm in width, and weighs 10.86g.
