Description: | A large cast copper alloy pendant or clasp. The object has five seperate stemmed flower designs on each face (some now missing), set with blue enamel. At the apex of the object part of what may be a hinge survives. The exact purpose of this object remains open to discussion - it looks quite Roman but may be neo-classical in design. Although it appears to be some type of horse harness pendant, no other bifaced examples could be found. The shape and design is similar to some hook clasps and mounts dating to the Post-medeival period.
