Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Medieval harness pendant. It consists of an open sexfoil frame with a concave outer face and flat reverse. The outer face is decorated with a raised projection between each of the lobes and traces of silvering can be seen in places. An attachment lug, narrowed and pierced with a small circular hole at one end, extends from one side, sitting at a right-angle to the plane of the frame The inside of this lug forms a short, narrow slot, through which a small copper alloy still rivet sits, which was presumably designed to secure a missing separate pendant (as can be seen on similar examples recorded with the PAS, such as LVPL-52542B from Nottinghamshire)Heraldic harness pendants, which this probably was originally (as per LVPL-52542B), were most popular during the 13th and early 14th centuries (Griffiths 1986).Length: 37.46mm, width: 25.73mm, thickness: 6.35mm, weight: 6.45g
