Description: | A gilt copper-alloy horse harness pendant hanger dating to the medieval period. The hanger comprises a central sexfoil flowerhead with a rivet hole in the centre. Two suspension lugs project below. To either side projects an arm each measuring 32mm in length, terminating with a pierced seven-petalled flowerhead (one is missing). Each arm is rectangular in plan and in cross-section. The entire object is slightly convex, presumably to compliment the profile of the horses forehead or chest.
