Description: | A copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant has a lozenge shaped central panel which is decorated with a human face in relief. Four rounded zoomorphic heads project from straight sides of the lozenge, and smaller beaded or hatched lobes project from the corners of the lozenge, the top one being extended into the base of the integral suspension loop. Two small traces of red enamel survive in the central diamond. The pendant also has much of the gilding surviving. It has a length of 30.7mm, a width of 24.3mm and a weight of 8.18g. A very similar example on the database is HAMP-3378B0 which also mentions WILT-5560B8 and Ashley 2002, 17; ref. 163 as parallels. A 14th century date is suggested. This example does not appear to have a crown.
