Description: | A complete cast Post Medieval - Modern equal-armed cross shaped horse harness pendant (c.1700-1900 AD). The object is cruciform in plan, each of the broad arms has a semi-circular end and tapers slightly in width towards the center. The pendant is flat with a sub-oval integrally cast suspension loop extending from one of the arms, with a circular perforation approximately 8.0mm in diameter drilled transversely through it.It has a green/brown patena, very worn but probably undecorated. The pendant is 69.8mm in length including loop, 54.6mm excluding loop, 44.18mm in width, 3.15mm thick, Weight; 31.38gms.This harness is much larger than other recorded Medieval examples, this and the plainess of the design suggest a more recent, 18th - 19th century date similar to those suspended in the centre of fly terrets.
