Description: | Medieval copper alloy harness pendant of 12th or 13th century dateThe pendant is of circular, domed form and is complete but is without its suspension mount (with an overall length of 32.5mm and a weight of 4.0g). The oval loop is perpendicular to the mount axis (with a depth of 7.8mm, a thickness of 2-3mm and an internal diameter of 2.9mm). The pendant is sub-circular and domed (25.2mm wide, 23.5mm wide and 5.8mm deep) of sheet metal (0.4mm thick). There is no suggestion of any heraldic device on the pendant. The surface of the pendant is heavily-corroded with remnant traces of gilding surviving near the apex of the domed face of the pendant. Elsewhere, the surface has a dark-green patina and areas of red-brown corrosion.
