Description: | A cast copper alloy harness pendant hanger. This artefact is in poor condition, and retains the top of a suspension loop in the hinge. The surface is corroded and a dark green-grey colour. The main body is a rough rectangle (wider than it is deep) with rounded corners. From the middle of the lower long side is a small rectangular hinge, bent slightly to the left, with some decoration in the form of three horizontal lines across the upper portion. The Body has four holes, one in each corner. The centre of the body has a large shield design with a rounded base. The shield has a poorly-executed cast design with discernable but indecipherable elements. This artefact dates to the 12th to 14th centuries.
