Description: | A late Post-Medieval-Modern cast lead alloy shield shaped pendant.The pendant has a flat front plate in the shape of a triangular shield the top edge is shaped by two concave dips emanating from each corner and meeting in the middle where there is an old break from the loss of the pendant. The sides of the triangle shape are slightly convex sides meeting at a point at the bottom. Heraldic design consists of cross from top to bottom and side to side quartering the shield with animals (possibly wolves or dogs) in each corner, the blazon (or background) of each behind the animals has close vertical lines representing the colour red. The cross is decorated with small lozenges and an x in the middle. At the back is a small lump, possibly a single integral cast lead rivet or remains of sprue from casting. The rivet is circular in section and tapers to a broken point.There are two identical examples from Kent (found 1000m apart) KENT-6ECEDA and KENT-66FDE8 and a more complete example from Sussex (SUSS-7F9732).The pendant measures 27mm in height, 24mm in width, 2.12mm in thickness and weighs 6.5g.
