Description: | A copper alloy Medieval harness pendant. It is incomplete due to old breaks, and is missing its loop for suspension and the knops which give this type of pendant an octofoil shape. It is a flat disc bearing traces of incised line decoration forming part of a star near the centre. All around the edges is a mass of tiny punched circles, any intended pattern or clustering being undiscernible due to wear and patination of the metal. There are traces of gilding on this surface. The pendant is approximatley oval, and measures 38.53mm by 35.96mm. It weighs 5.65g.Similar pendants from Norfolk, with an octofoil shape, are illustrated in Ashley, EAA 2002, fig.6, and date to the late twelfth to early thirteenth centuries.
