Description: | A complete copper-alloy enameled sexfoil harness pendant of medieval date. The incomplete suspension loop is at 90 degrees to the face. The pendant is an example of a sexfoil type, having six equally-spaced projecting lobes around a hexagonal central plate. A further rounded lobe is located at the centre of the plate and from this radiate six ribs, which divide the surface into six alternately red and blue enamel-filled cells (some now largely empty). The reverse of the pendant is flat and plain. A hanger, with a rounded top edge and small circular hole, extends at a right-angle from the uppermost lobe.The pendant measures 31.35mm in length, 22.5mm wide, 5.55mm thick and weighs 5.54 grams.
