Description: | A complete possible copper-alloy harness pendant of Medieval date. The pendant is cruciform in plan view, with the arms (of equal length) being triangular in section due to a raised upper surface and flat back. At the top of the pendant, a circular suspension loop is visible, which is slightly bent to the left due to post-depositional damage. The upper surfaces of the pendant demonstrate extensive remains of surface treatment in the form of gilding, which survives patchily. The pendant is in relatively good condition, demonstrating a patchy brown and green patina both on its front and back.From the top of the suspension loop to the base of the bottommost vertical cross-arm the object measures 38.11mm, while across the lateral arms the object measures 31.37mm. Each of the arms is c. 3.5-3.6mm in thickness, and the pendant weighs 6.7 grammes.
