Description: | An incomplete copper alloy and gold medieval harness pendant. It appears to have been circular/slightly quatrefoil in shape originally, although part of one side is now missing. The outer face is decorated with two transverse gilded lines across the centre, containing a zigzag line of gilding, and a gilded chevron to either side of this, pointing upwards, and formed in a similar way from two lines and a zigzag between them. There are additional small patches of gilding in the spaces left around the edges of this design. A long suspension loop extends at a right angle from the upper edge. The reverse is undecorated.A pendant with a very similar design and quatrefoil form is illustrated by Ashley (2002, 22, fig.22) and although this example is undated, he indicates a 14th or 15th century date for the group more generally.Length: 45.85mm, width: 30.94mm, thickness: 6.56mm, weight: 5.32g
