Description: | A complete but worn cast copper alloy two-piece openwork medieval horse harness pendant. Suspended below a rectangular shank, the pendant has an rounded circular frame with fleur-shaped projections at 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 8 and 10 o'clock. Within this frame hangs an inner pendant in the shape of a fleur-de-lys. This no longer moves. At the apex of the mount is a round suspension loop set perpendicular to the frame. The reverse is plain and undecorated. This harness pendant is quite large and the openwork designs are often associated with an earlier date, c. later 12th to 13th century.
