Description: | A copper alloy harness pendant of Medieval date. The pendant is circular in plan and flat in section with a sub-oval integrally cast suspension loop; this is pierced by a circular aperture. One face of the object is decorated with a circumferential band made of an inner and outer groove. There is no visible decoration on the rest of the object and the surface is worn and corroded. Just below the centre of the pendant there is a small circular piercing (diameter 1.18mm) which housed a separate fitting but this is now lost. The integrally cast suspension loop, which is set at 90 degrees to the main face of the pendant is intact.A complete example of a similar harness pendant which can be found on the database is Ellis, L (2013) HAMP-DFBFC4: A MEDIEVAL HARNESS PENDANT Web page available at: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/549598. Examples of similar harness pendants can be found in Saunders and Saunders, (1991), p25-27.Dimensions: 50.82mm in length, 41.07mm in width, 0.06mm thick (flat face), 4.59mm thick (suspension loop), 12.2g.
