Enamelled, shield-shaped horse harness pendant. Type I (Ward Perkins 1940, 118, fig.38). The pendant is cast in copper alloy (probably bronze) with an integral suspension loop, which is now slightly twisted. It is decorated with a heraldic device of a lion rampant possibly with a double tail on a background of blue enamel. Although ancient enamels can change their colour as a consequence of burial, microscopic study shows that blue was the enamels original colour. Microscopic examination also indicated that the unenamelled surfaces of the pendant were probably gilded. Traces of this p…

A pointed shield shaped harness pendant with a suspension loop at 90 degree angle to body of pendant. The pendant is decorated with a silver lion rampant on a dark enamel field (the colour of the enamel is undetermined due to corrosion products but may have been sable (black) or dark blue. Across the top of the shield (at the honour point) is a horizontal bar with four vertical columns placed equidistantly extending towards the point of the shield, this mark of cadency is filled with red enamel, and effectively cuts the top of the lion from the body.
