Description: | Medieval heraldic harness pendant, cast copper alloy, quatrefoil plate with angular projections bearing an armorial device, the details of which are lost to corrosion but it appears to have contained two horizontal bars surmounted by a line of three pellets set within a heater shaped shield. Some traces of red enamel survive. On the top of the plate is an integral loop with an outside diameter of 6.9mm through which is a 2.6mm diameter, oval hole. Length 42.8mm, Width 32.0mm, Thickness 2.3mm, Mass 13.88g.Pendants of this type are seen as fourteenth century (Griffiths, Finds Research Group Datasheet 5) but a wider date range is possible.
