Description: | A complete cast copper alloy medieval horse harness pendant. The shield shaped pendant has an integral attachment loop at the top, which is turned ninety degrees to the pendant. Through the loop is a copper alloy axis bar which secures the pendant to an attachment fitting. The simple attachment fitting has two lugs either side of the pendant attachment loop and has a long integral rivet projecting from the top. The front of the pedant is quite worn but the remains of three lions passant guardant. The lions would have originally have been enamelled though none of this survives. The length of both the pendant and attachment fitting is 49.9mm, the width is 20.8mm and the weight is 9.70g.
