Description: | A cast copper-alloy harness pendant of Medieval date, probably c. 1200-1300.The pendat is largely complete, missing a portion of the very worn suspension loop. The pendant is sub-square in plan with a thick outer edge with moulded notches, creating a wavy, beaded effect. The field is sunken, of 3-4mm depth, with a central, domed square boss. Most of the field retains a veneer of blue enamel, less than 1mm in thickness. The reverse is undecorated. The suspension loop emerges from the centre of the upper edge.The squarish form of the pendant, use of enamel, and lack of heraldic devices may indicate that this pendant is an earlier form from the 13th century.
