It has a suspension lug protruding from the upper edge which is at right angles to the plane of the pendant. There are traces of gilding on the otherwise plain cross and possible slight traces of lozenges or cross hatching on the front. The pendant measures 45.9mm long, 41.7mm wide and 6.8mm thick. 11.78gCompare LVPL-7CB071, NMS-A0C9D3 and ESS-711904. This object is probably a harness pendant, but alternative use as a cross shaped pendant cannot be ruled out.
