Description: | Copper alloy harness pendant. Cast T-shaped plate, probably a cruciform motif with expanded ends to its arms and one arm lost, and with an oval suspension loop at right angles to the display plane. Both sides bear traces of an overall orange-brown coating which may be the relict of enamel. A central circular scar may be the fixing point for another element, now lost, or for a contrasting tint. Now abraded. The form of cross is distinct from the Cross of St George, so a red tint and a proto-nationalistic intent to its display cannot be assumed. Suggested date: Medieval, 1250-1350.Length: 28.1mm, Width: 25mm, Thickness (clear of loop): 2.3mm, Weight: 2.67gms.
