Description: | A copper-alloy horse harness pendant of Medieval date.The pendant is shield-shaped, with a horizontal top side and slightly convex long sides which taper to a point. The device consists of two recessed chevrons separated by a horizontal band. The loop extends upwards from the centre point of the top side. It has a flat back, rounded upper side and a small aperture containing a remnant of the iron axis bar. The artefact is bent and corroded. It measures 31.5mm high, 18.5mm wide and 3.9mm thick (loop). The weight is 2.66g.The majority of dated shield-shaped pendants were produced in the 14th century. The lack of surviving colour makes it impossible to determine to which family this device relates.
