Description: | A corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy fragment, plausibly from a medieval harness pendant. In the centre is a separately moulded rosette riveted through the plate. This is framed by an incised eight-pointed star, the points formed by two converging incised lines; the points at the cardinal points are longer than those in the angles. The surface variable green patina with patches of off-white corrosion product. Some red-brown metal shows through beneath the patina. This is consistent with gilding; patches of gilt survives around the rosette and on it. The fragment has received considerable post-depositional damage with all edges seemingly broken and bending and twisting from all angles.
