Description: | A complete copper alloy triangular horse harness pendant of Medieval date. The pendant is comprised of an elongated triangular sheet pendant with an integrally cast transverse pierced suspension loop projecting from the apex. The reverse is plain and the front has traces of gilding and an incised design, the pendant is too worn for the design to be deciphered but it is possibly of floral and certainly of curvilinear design. The patina has mostly been lost and the metal is of reddish-green colour. Pendants of this type are dated c.1150-1250.See SWYOR-E97780 for a similar example and for links to published examples.
