Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy pendant probably dating to the 17th century. The pendant has been cut from a sheet of copper alloy. It has been cut to have five triangular shaped arms projecting from in between the five lobes of a cinquefoil. In the centre there is a separate heart, also cut from a copper alloy sheet and soldered in place. Each of the triangular shaped arms has a central semi-circular projection and there is a suspension loop from the uppermost one. The perforation has been cut slightly off centre. The front surface has been decorated with a stamped patterns. There are radiating lines on the lobes of the central cinquefoil. On the triangular arm with the suspension loop there are horizontal rows of stamped lozenge shapes. This pattern is repeated on the third arm. On the second arm there is a floral motif with a central cross-hatched bud with a leaf to each side. On the fourth arm there is half a flower, similar to a daisy, with repeated diagonal lines forming a border along each side. On the fifth arm there is a geometric pattern of a central lozenge shape, created from four of the lozenge-shaped stamps, with radiating lines forming a border; the final radiating lines have rows of diagonal lines, creating a cross-hatch. The applied heart is not decorated. Dimensions: diameter: 30.08; thickness: 1.26mm; weight: 4.69g.
