HARNESS PENDANT

Unique ID: FAKL-696D91

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Copper alloy shield quatrafoil pendant, probably once enamelled but this, and most of the detail, has been lost to corrosion. The pendant was suspended from a 5.5mm diameter loop, now broken. This was set on a short bar. The face of the pendant bore a square panel which is likely to have contained a heraldic device.
