Description: | A very worn and corroded medieval probable heraldic harness pendant. The pendant is incomplete in as much as it is missing it suspension loop, which is suggested by scarring at the top. The object is quatrefoil in shape. Within a raised border the field is filled with a moulded bird of prey sitting on a falconer's arm. The bird sits facing left, with its jesses extending below the gloved hand. There is a five-petalled flower in the field to the right of the bird. The metal has corroded to a dark red-brown colour with patches of green and off-white corrosion product in places over a dark-grey patina. A comparable harness pendant can be seen on this database, ref. KENT2768.
