Description: | A cast copper-alloy harness pendant of Medieval date. It has a sub-circular plate with a concave back face and traces of gilding on the slightly domed front face. At the top is an integrally cast attachment loop that is flat, oval shaped in form with a central circular aperture and set at an angle of ninety degrees to the plane of the pendant. The entire object has a dark green patina and measures 16.87mm in length, 9.66mm in width, 5.44mm in thickness (at loop; 1.86mm in thickness at plate), and weighs 0.98g.This is a decorative harness pendant of Medieval date similar to an example noted by Griffiths (1986: no. 19) that is interpreted as 'fringeing' for use on reins. It is of Medieval date, probably 13th-14th century AD in date.
