A resized image of Medieval harness pendant

A medieval cast copper-alloy horse harness pendant and mount. The pendant is of moulded fleur-de-lis form with the centre feather extending into a suspension loop. This is attached to a suspension mount which is also shaped like a fleur-de-lis with the base extended into a hinge formed by folding the plates with a slot in it to form two loops which hold the in situ axis bar constructed from iron which is now corroded. the Fleur de lis is incomplete. Two copper alloy rivets with expanded edges survive within the incomplete fleur-de-lis.

The harness pendant in bent in on itself slightly against one of the rivets. A direct parallel is illustrated in Read (2001, 57; ref. 459)

The harness pendant is 22.8mm in length, 12.95mm wide, 13.6mm thick and weighs 5.5 grams.
