Description: | Medieval gilt cast copper alloy horse harness pendant. There is a rectangular arm with suspension loop at the apex, just after a riased collar. The arm terminates in an openwork square loop with a large projecting hexagonal terminal on each corner. The terminals have concave edges with a small knop at the central points. The upper surface of the terminals have a central raised pellet surrounded by a raised flower design, with the area inbetween recessed, presumably to have contained enamel. There is possible traces of blue enamel, however this is difficult to determine from the photograph. Large areas of the surface are covered in gilt.
