Description: | A Medieval copper alloy harness pendant, dating AD 1200-1400. The pendant is square with an oblong projection at the top. There is a circular perforation through the top of the projection to turn it into a loop. The is a ribbed border around the edge of the square, creating a square field in the centre. There is a circular perforation in the centre of the square, with a slightly raised collar. Traces of gilding are visible on the front of the object and possibly red enamel in the square field. A separate decorative component would have been attached through the central perforation. The metal is a dark brown, with traces of light green patina across much of the surface. A similar example is recorded on the PAS database with the central component still attached, cf. WILT-396393. Dimensions: height: 32.95 mm; width: 19.72 mm; thickness: 4.14 mm; weight: 7.38g.
