Description: | Complete but worn copper-alloy and enamel/gilded heraldic horse harness pendant of Medieval date. The pendant is flat and shield-shaped with an oval pierced suspension loop along the top edge of the shield. The shield is plain on the reverse and carries an unclear coat of arms design on the front appearing to consist of a quatrefoil at the bottom of the shield and above this three vertical lines joined at the top by a single horizontal line - the design appears to break the upper half of the shield into four rectangular sections with the outer rim of the shield enclosing the two outer edges. The coat of arms has not been identified as belonging to any particular family at this time. Dated c.1200-1400.
