Description: | A complete and corroded Medieval copper-alloy harness pendant (c. 1150-c. 1300).The plate of this pendant flat and roughly square and is convex at the front and concave at the rear. However this may be due to damage in the soil. At the centre of the top of the plate a suspension loop is turned through 90° to the plane of the pendant. Between the loop and plate, the shaft is largely triangular in plan. Both faces are green and corroded. There is no indication of any decoration or surface treatment that may have been present.See Griffiths 1986: 1-4, fig. 4.Height: 50.55mm; width: 40.39mm; overall thickness: 6.12mm; thickness of plate: 1.24mm; width of loop: 3.88mm; thickness of loop: 6.62mm.
