Description: | A cast copper alloy heraldic harness pendant of medieval date (c.1300-1500). It is shield shaped with an intact suspection loop at the top. The design is worn but the pendant can be described in heraldic terms as checky from the fess down, with four larger rectangles above, across the chief. The back is undecorated with some corrosion. There are some remains of enamel within the checky, though this could either have been red originally, or could have altered due to corrosion.Dimensions: weight 7.45g, length 39mm (inc loop), width (at broadest point) 23mm, thickness 1mmA similar example which can be found on the PAS database is LVPL-081A15 https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/653608.
