Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy Medieval heraldic horse harness pendant, probably 13-14th century in date. The pendant is shield-shaped in plan and flat in section with a circular suspension loop, turned through 90 degrees, along the upper edge. The front of the mount is decorated with an enamel design of a white lion (or other large cat) lying facing left, on a black or possibly dark blue background with a green plant behind, possibly a fleur-de-lys . The arms have not been attributed to any particular family at this time & that would require further research. Dated c.1200-1400.
