Description: | A complete cast copper alloy harness pendant of medieval date. The pendant is quatrefoil in plan with an integrally cast circular suspension loop. The front is decorated with a moulded design featuring a quadruped advancing left, perhaps passing in front of a tree or similar. Traces of yellow enamel survive within the border of the quadruped while the background retains much of its red enamel. A hinged mount remains in situ on the attachment loop though no longer articulates due to corrosion. The pendant has a 90 degree bend along the top lobe of the quatrefoil.The metal has a dark blackish-green patina and is worn. The harness pendant is 24.9mm long (bent), 25.3mm wide, 6.3mm thick and weighs 8.3g.
