Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy heraldic harness pendant of Medieval date. It is flat, shield-shaped with enamelled front face and missing its suspension loop due to old breaks. The front face has a heraldic motif bearing the arms of England, Gules three lions passant guardant Or (Three gold lions on red). This harness pendant measures 30.74mm in length, 25.95mm in width, 2.12mm in thickness, and weighs 6.47g. Similar heraldic harness pendants are noted by Ashley (2002: nos. 51, 55, 67 etc.) and are of 12th-14th century AD date. A similar date range might be suggested for the current example.
