Description: | A Medieval copper-alloy harness pendant.The pendant comprises an oval plate with a central hole and a projecting lobe surviving on three of its four corners. These lobes, which occupy all but the damaged bottom right-hand corner, have a central boss with a corresponding hollow underside. Five punched rings surround the central hole, with an inward-pointing sub-triangular cluster of such rings adjacent to each of the corner lobes. Traces of gilding can also be seen on this upper surface. The right-angled loop is located at the centre of the top edge, its sides tapering towards the apex, where there is a worn aperture.Height: 46.8mm; width: 33.5mm; depth (with loop): 8.7mm; thickness of plate: 2.8mm. Weight: 8.72g.Four similar pendants are illustrated by Steven Ashley, who suggests a mid 12th to early 13th century date (2002: Fig. 6/p. 7, nos. 9 - 12).
