Description: | A copper alloy harness pendant. The pendant is sheild-shaped with traces of enamelled decoration, a type in use from the reign of Edward I (1239-1307) onwards, and the bold, simple motif also indicates an early form of heraldic design.The design consists of two upward pointing chevrons seperated by a central band, decorated with red enamel. Similar examples are illustrated by Cherry, p.24, which date from the early 14th Century (for full reference see below).The pendant has been bent across the centre, and there are small areas of active corrosion (indicated by powdery green corrosion products) accross the surface.
