Description: | Cast copper alloy Medieval harness pendant, c.1200-1400.It is lozenge shape in plan with an attachment loop at the top which has now broken off. The front face is decorated in relief with enamel filling in the field. There is a central W with a fleur-de-lys above. It is possible there were other symbols in the field but it is difficult to see due to the corrosion. The enamel is very corroded but appears to have been dark blue or black. There are fragments of gilding remaining which indicate the border and the design were gilded.The pendant is now quite badly corroded with a mainly green patina but where the surface is missing, redi-brown patches can be seen.
