Description: | A copper alloy horse harness pendant of Medieval date. The pendant is circular in plan. Its suspension loop extends upwards from the top of the pendant and is pierced horizontally. The pendant is incomplete with part of the lower section missing. The nature of any surface detail is unclear due to corrosion. Several pendants bearing similar forms are illustrated by Ashley (2002: 18: Fig. 20, Cat. 183-88) and Griffiths in Clark (1995: 65 Fig. 47, Cat. 57). Parallels may also be drawn with BH-13BBA1. Horse harness pendants of this type are generally thought to date from the 14th century.The pendant measure 44.1mm in length; 34.67mm in width; .91mm in Thickness and 6.6g in weight.
