Description: | A copper alloy harness pendant dating to the medieval period, c.1200 to 1300.The object is square in plan with a narrow border around the edge. There is a projection from the middle of one of the sides which extends as a suspension loop. Part of the suspension mount is still in place and appears to be of the bar mount type, similar to number 76 in fig. 52 of J. Clark (2004) The Medieval Horse and its Equipment. There is some gilding on the suspension mount. The front of the pendant has moulded decoration in the form of a four petal flower with a central square boss. This boss has a rivet going through the pendant and is visible on the back. The back of the pendant is flat and undecorated and also show more corrosion than on the front.
