Description: | Early Medieval gold pendant set with a red stone, presumably a garnet. The pendant is in the form of a stepped triangle, with three 'steps' on each side and a horizontal base. It has a rectangular cross section with a slightly concave reverse. The pendant is intact but part of the gold frame has been torn and is now bent away from the stone setting. This has exposed a section of embossed gold foil which sits beneath the stone. The suspension loop is fluted and folded to make a loop. The frame is also 'fluted', formed of three linear ridges and two indentations. This fluting is flattened or worn at the 'points' of the steps.
