Description: | A copper alloy harness pendant dating from the Medieval period in the shape of a triangular shield with rounded corners. A suspension loop at right angles to the shield is located in the centre of the upper edge. The shield is decorated with a pattern of two branching fern-like leaves at the top; traces of blue/green enamel remain. Beneath is a motif filled with white enamel, with fur or spikes, and branching lines below, possibly an animal with bird like feet. The pendant has a purple and green patina. It has a length of 46.76mm, width 23.85mm, thickness of 2.07mm and a weight of 7.29g. For reference see Saunders 1991 Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum Medieval catalogue p. 24. Shield shaped harness pendants tend to date from the 13th and 14th centuries.
