Description: | Copper alloyHarness Pendant fragment. Cast heraldic pendant comprising a heater shield shaped plate with an elongated lug, with drilled hole for suspension, at right angles to the display face. Relief features comprise a pair of trefoil features: one pendant below the loop and the other projecting inwards from the right side of the plate. Neither resembles a fleur de lis and both probably form parts of a more complex heraldic device now irretrievable due to the loss of the greater part of the plate. The pendant was probably enamelled but no trace of colorant remains, and the back and the base of the loop are both heavily pitted. Suggested date: Medieval, 1250-1400.Height: 28.7mm, Width: 23.1mm, Thickness (plate): 1.9mm, Weight: 3.02gms.
