The suspension loop has an sub circular perforation or hole, with an internal diameter of 1.4 mm. The heraldic device on the front of the pendant is hard to determine but a gilded diagonal line or bend Or is present. The reverse is undecorated.It measures 37.7 mm in length, 27.1 mm wide and 6.2 mm thick. It weighs 6.3 g.The harness pendant is a dark brown colour, with an uneven surface patina.
