Description: | A cast copper alloy quatrefoil harness pendant. The suspension loop is complete and the pendant is in fair condition. There are pointed projections between the lobes of the quatrefoil. The surface has light brown, slightly uneven corrosion. Much of the enamel survives. The heraldic design is clear; it was poorly-executed, following a common pattern: a central blue square with a single lion 'passant gardant', with red lobes around this within which are fleurs-de-lis. The pointed projections were also originally covered with blue enamel. This artefact dates to the 13th to 15th centuries.
