HARNESS PENDANT

Unique ID: NARC-520340

Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow status: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation

A possible harness pendant of Medieval date. Very corroded and incomplete.

The main stem is sub-rectangular in section ans 5mm in width, tapering to 3mm at which point it bifurcates into two rongs. One of the prongs has a right-angles turn, the opposite prong is broken before the corner.

To work as a harness pendant, the long stem would have terminated in a suspension loop.
