Description: | An incomplete and misshapen cast copper alloy harness pendant of probable early 16th century date (c. 1500- c. 1550).The pendant is shield-shaped and has the remains of a stem for a suspension loop that would have been turned through 90° to the main part. At the top, the stem is situated centrally between a cusped edge at either side. About half way down each side of the main part there is a sub-oval removal. The base is pointed. At the base of the suspension loop stem there are two vertical decorative grooves.The pendant is in poor condition and has a horizontal fracture. Gilding is present on the front and rear.50.8 x 34.0 x 4.9mm. Weight: 10.98g.The dating of this harness pendant is based on the ornate 16th century English shield-shape. However, the pendant may be earlier.
