Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval horse harness pendant. The pendant is shield-shaped and flat in section with a suspension loop in the centre of the top of the shield, which is perpendicular to the pendant face and has a suspension hole which is approximately 2.5mm in diameter. The decoration on the pendant cannot be clearly seen, but there appears to be an incised line running across the shield from the top left to the centre of the right side. The pendant is slightly bent from post-depositional damage and has an uneven patina. Traces of gilding can be seen on the upper part of the front of the pendant. The pendant is 29.2mm in length, 27.2mm wide, 1.2mm thick and weighs 5.1 grams. Similar Medieval shield-shaped horse harness pendants are illustrated in Ashley 2002 figs 10-14.
