Description: | A copper-alloy horse harness pendant, dating from the Medieval period.The pendant is of thin, flat section and would originally have been shield-shaped, although the bottom portion is missing. Traces of gilding are visible on the upper surface. The loop extends upwards at 90 degrees from the centre of the upper side.Dimensions: height: 44.7mm; width: 33.2mm; thickness: 0.9mm. Weight: 4.93g.A similar, thin-sectioned, shield-shaped pendant is illustrated by Steven Ashley (2002: fig. 6, no. 4), who suggests a date of late 12th to early 13th century.
