Description: | A corroded and incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy gilded and enamelled pendant. The pendant body is comprised of a six-pointed star. The points of the star are developed into fleur de lis, the uppermost of which is further extended into what would have been the suspension loop, but this is now missing. At the centre of the star there is a recessed sexfoil that may have originally contained enamel. The remainder of the star contains blue enamel with evidence of red at the tips. The sides of the pendant have substantial remains of gilding. The Salisbury and South Wiltshire Medieval catalogue (1991); p17-29 details related pendants which date from the 12th -14th century. It measures 39.9mm long, 29.5mm wide, 6.1mm. thick and weighs 13.12 grams.
