Description: | A cast copper-alloy harness pendant of Medieval date, c. 1150-1400.The pendant is logenze-shaped with a suspension loop emerging from the top corner of the lozenge. The pendant bears heraldic decoration, consisting of the the face split between a now lost field probably bearing enamel decoration for the lower 75% of the device, with the upper quarter consisting of a silver-gilt sheet overlaying the pendant. Cut out of the sheet are two six-pointed stars/flowers with a raised pellet in the centre. The rays of the star probably bore enamel orginally, though all traces of enamel are now gone. The reverse is undecorated.
