Description: | Incomplete Early Saxon copper alloy pendant. Originally bell-shaped in outline, with a transversely pierced ribbed suspension lug at the apex and a prominant, D-shaped median rib decending from the base of the suspension lug and further deffined by a groove to either side. One side of the plate is missing, to the other is a sub-triangular / semicircular aperture, the resulting 'arm' becoming wider as it re-curves from the side of the suspension loop towards the rib, with closley spaced stamped annulets or crescents along the outer edge and a shallow groove around the inner edge. Irregular transverse break accross the base, breaks ancient. Surviving length 30mm. Width (reconstructed) at least 26mm.For more elaborate examples of this type of pendant, see MacGregor and Bolick (1993), 162 - 3, no.25.6, 25.7 and 25.8.6th century.
