Description: | Medieval (c.1200-1400) cast copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant plate is square in plan (17.8mm by 18.0mm by 2.8mm). It has a raised rim on the front, the outer edges are regularly corrugated and the inner edges bevelled. At the sunken centre, there is raised square area that has a central circular hole which may have originally run though to the back but this is not clear due to corrosion. The back is plain and flat. A transverse suspension loop projects fromn the centre of the top edge; it is a flat oval knop with a small hole 1.2mm in diameter drilled near the upper end. Both faces are mainly covered with loose light green copper alloy corrosion products. It is very similar to IOW-1C9083 which had traces of gilding and enamel but a broken suspension loop. It is 26.4mm long and 5.2mm thick including the suspension loop. It weighs 6.05 grams.
