Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval harness pendant, complete and in fair condition. The pendant comprises the rectangular hanger, which has a stud on the reverse for attaching the pendant to the strap, and an iron pin through the simple hinge to which is attached the pendant. The pendant is quatrefoil in plan with each of the four arms designed like a fanned leaf, or a scallop shell; the main body of the pendant is circular and within is four panels of alternating red and blue enamel, divided by a cross. The reverse of the harness pendant is flat and plain. Although the hinge is now corroded and stuck at an angle, the pendant is a nice example of later 13th to 14th century harness decoration.
