Description: | A copper alloy Medieval pendant loop from a strap mount. The pendant loop dates from 1350 - 1400. It is trefoil shaped with each lobe being openwork and circular. One lobe has a projecting off set and recessed bar where the mount attaching the pendant loop to the strap would have been positioned. Both faces of the pendant loop are bevelled and the metal has a rich smooth dark brown patina. Compare pendant loops of other shapes, but with a similar offset attachment bar on page 221 of Dress Accessories, which suggest the date given above. Similar examples on the database include NLM-296C92 and BERK-6E7FE3 though another example of the same design has not yet been found.
