Description: | A copper alloy cross-shaped harness pendant dating to the medieval period, c. 1200 to 1400. The pendant is in the shape of an equal-armed cross in plan and is flat. There is a suspension loop attached to one of the arms and this is at 90 degrees to the pendant. There is some cast decoration on the front of the object and this appears to be in the form of five crosses with split, curved ends however the decoration is very worn so this is unclear. There is some evidence for gilding on the front of the object. The back of the object is undecorated with no evidence for gilding. There are examples of cross-shaped harness pendants recorded on the PAS database, see SWYOR-7C4138 and IHS-8E7785.
