Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant, in the form of a flower. The pendant is in poor condition, and has lost all but two of the original eight petals. The suspension loop survives intact at the end of one of the two remaining petals. The surface is rough, with a blotchy dark green colour. The body of the pendant is formed of a disc with a narrow raised edge. The disc is filled by an eight-petalled flower in shallow relief. Around the edge of the disc are the stumps of the outer petals. The two surviving petals are at the 12 o'clock and half-past four positions. They are rounded lobes, each with a thin outer border. Both appear bent upwards. This artefact dates to the 14th or 15th century.
