Description: | Copper alloyHarness Pendant. Cast pendant fragment with oval suspension loop at right angles to the display face. This bears remnants of a border design of triangles, possibly gilt, though the surface of the central field is lost; so too is the lower part of the pendant. The impression is that this was a shield-shaped rather than a lobed or circular pendant; the relict design may have accompanied a heraldic motif, though triangular devices are uncommon. The object is bent, and thinned by corrosion and much of the display face has spalled away.Suggested date: Medieval, 1250-1350.Height: 34mm, Width: 31.6mm, Thickness (pendant): 1.48mm, Weight: 4.41gms.
