Description: | Incomplete sheet copper alloy square heraldic harness pendant depicting a fleur de lis or a bird in flight with outstretched wings, within a square shield. There are a few traces of gilding around the edge of the raised figure, and the recessed area between the figure and the edge of the shield would originally have been enamelled, but the pendant is now so corroded that no evidence of this remains. The circular suspension loop is now broken, and one corner of the pendant is missing.Mills (1999) illustrates a square pendant depicting a raven on page 65, No.NM.177, which dates from the 14th century.Read (1988) illustrates a square pendant with remains of gilding on page 93, No.574, which is dated from the 14th century.Read (2001) illustrates a square pendant with enamelling and raised and recessed details on page 54, Fig.33, No.428, which is dated from the 14th century.
