Description: | A copper-alloy harness pendant of Medieval date.The pendant is shield-shaped. Extending upwards from the centre of the top side, set at a right-angle to the shield, is a worn loop. The shield itself bears the following coat of arms: '[Azure] a bent [Argent] cotised between six lions rampant Or' (an angled silver band of three strands, dividing two sets of three gold lions, standing left; all on a blue background). Despite the absence of enamel and silvering, the would appear to be the arms of the de Bohun family, the line of which ended in 1372 (cf. Ashley 2002: figs. 11 and 12, nos. 68, 69, 80 and 81). The pendant measures 41.9mm long, 27mm wide and 2.6mm thick (not including the loop). The weight is 10.24g.
