Description: | A medieval cast copper alloy horse harness pendant and mount. The suspension mount was found with but no longer attached to the pendant. The mount is in the shape of a small tab with two lugs descending. The pendant has a quatrefoil centre with four moulded petals emanating from a central boss. The pendant's suspension loop extends upwards from the top of the pendant and is pierced horizontally. Four additional projections emerge from the sides of the quatrefoil, each with small trefoil erminals. Remnants of what appears to be blue enamel frame the petals. Several pendants bearing similar forms are illustrated by Griffiths (1995: 50) and are generally thought to date from the 13th to 15th centuries.
