Description: | An incomplete possible pendant of probably medieval date. The pendant is an octofoil of floral form with a circular central boss, from which project six short protrusions (possibly complete or fragments of longer protrusions), a longer pointed protrusion, and a wire suspension loop. The short protrusions have no design or recognisable shape suggesting that they were originally longer. The central boss contains an octofoil pattern consisting of eight petals, each marked by two grooves in low relief either side of a raised pellet, some of which are missing. The raised spaces between the petals are inlaid with blue enamel decoration. At the centre of the boss is a small sexfoil flower design with a green patina and traces of enamel inlay, and a brown central pellet. The obverse's patina is mainly brown, with some patches of green, probably from corrosion. The reverse is flat, undecorated and mainly green from corrosion. Several of the protrusions are bent inwards. The pendant is 32.5mm long, 22.0mm wide and 1.9mm thick. It weighs 4.9g.
