Description: | Cast copper alloy harness pendant dating from the Medieval to the Post-Medieval period, (1100-1700). The object is sub-oval in plan with three rounded lobes projecting from the base. A blue glass stone sits in the centre of the lobes which is raised up. The stone is held in place by three triangular 'claws' or 'leaves'. One of the 'claws' have been bent backwards and a fourth is missing. The setting is attached to the mount by a rivet which can be seen on the reverse of the object. Above the setting are two irregular perforations which possibly contained rivets. The outer edge of the object is serrated at the top right hand side. The remains of gilding can be seen on the outer face. The suspension loop is missing. The object has a mid-green patina.Similar examples which can be found on the database are SUR-D1F6C6, NCL-8D3AB4 and YORYM-74E141.
