Unique ID: SUR-A0B449
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A worn and corroded copper alloy pendant with traces of gilding. There is a round suspension loop at the top which is in line with the plane of the pendant. The form of the pendant appears to be broadly octofoil with a trapezoidal central boss which may represent a stylised face or other form. The reverse is concave; the casting is thick and the design is uneven and slightly asymmetrical. Post medieval but of uncertain date.
