Description: | Cast copper alloy pendant, quatrafoil with an integral suspension loop in the form of an off-set pear-shaped plate through which is a 2.5mm diameter hole. The face of the pendant is decorated with the head of a king, cast in deep relief and gilded. The head follows the pattern seen on Medieval coins with long hair either side of the face, deep set, pelleted eyes and a slit mouth. Pellets were also used to form the crown which consists of two lateral fleurs, one with three lobes, the other with four. The central fleur is made up of three pellets. Below the head is a shaped bar representing the king's head and neck. In the field around the head are pellets, a star and a sun.
