Description: | An incomplete copper alloy harness or apron pendant, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410).Around 75% of the pendant is present, with the suspension loop and lower terminal incomplete, presumed damaged in antiquity.The suspension loop was originally circular and positioned at right angles to the front of the pendant. The pendant is sub triangular, with a heart shaped upper segment, followed by an elongated bulb and end knop. Both front and back are flat, with no decoration present.The pendant measures 30.4 mm in length, 12.8 mm wide and 7.9 mm thick. It weighs 3.1 g.The pendant is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.Several similar harness pendants have been recorded on the PAS database, including: SUSS-502103; YORYM-D6FA45; SUSS-1FD1F7; YORYM-8D60C1; YORYM-8C7E28 and BERK-EEFC21. All have been considered to be Roman in dating (AD 43 to AD 410).
