Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant, in good condition, with intact suspension loop. The pendant is roughly square. The surface is smooth and a greenish-brown colour. A central shield is set on a square body: against the middle of each edge is a slim rectangle; at the corners are small, badly-formed trefoils/ fleurs-de-lis; these outer elements have subtly textured surfaces. The outer decoration is reminiscent of the ornamental scrolls seen in Jacobean motifs. The central shield has the image of a heraldic eagle, with the beak pointing right. Around the shield are dots; to the bottom left and bottom right are small fleurs-de-lis, pointing towards the outer corners. This artefact dates to the 14th or 15th century.
