Description: | A Medieval (1200-1400) copper alloy gilt horse harness pendant in the form of a cross pommée. It measures 21.31x15.96x4.40mm and weighs 2.68g.The loop is turned through 90 degrees and retains a section of the (?iron) axis bar on which it was suspended. The cross has short arms with a globular terminal at each end and a raised central square area. The terminal from which the loop extends is a little smaller than the others.To the reverse the harness pendant is flat, while the decoration to the front is moulded. Traces of gilding remain although much of the original patina has been lost.Similar harness pendants on this database have been found within an openwork quatrefoil suspension mount, cf. ESS-D5FB35, YORYM-4BB947, SWYOR-AAEFB8, LIN-6751A4.
