Description: | A copper alloy harness pendant dating from the Medieval period, AD1200 - 1400. It is in the form of a sexfoil with a circular central body surrounded by six small, circular knops spaced at regular intervals. One of the knops carries a flattened, suspension loop with a circular piercing, positioned at ninety degrees to the plane of the central body. The body has a moulded design in low relief consisting of a central, circular pellet and six radial lines, each line connecting to one of the peripheral knops, each of which also carries a small, moulded pellet. The six radial lines divide the body into six triangular panels, three of which contain red enamel. The enamel remaining in the other three panels it is now degraded but it is probable that it was blue as an identical pendant retaining both red and blue enamel is recorded from Hampshire (HAMP3847). The pendant is 25.2mm long, 16.3mm wide and 5.8mm thick. It weighs 2.73gm.These pendants are discussed in Clark, The Medieval Horse and its Equipment, Museum of London, 2005, pages 61 - 70.
