HARNESS PENDANT

Unique ID: GLO-8763AE

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Copper alloy shield shaped horse harness pendant that has a projecting loop on the top for suspension. The artefacts is heavily corroded which has resulted in the loss of all detail from both the front and back of the shield. However there is a single off centre rivet which has a domed head on the face of the pendant while on the other side the rivet is rough and unfinished. The lower half of the shield is truncated.
