Record ID: WILT-FFAA00
Object type: HARNESS PENDANT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval enamelled (and probably originally gilded or silvered) copper alloy shield-shaped heraldic horse harness pendant of the vertical banner type which would have rotated on a swivelling base. It measures 24.93x22.54x6.87mm and weighs 6.35g. The shield alone measures 24.93x17.09x2.99mm.
The pendant is blazoned on both sides, gules a fess between (possibly) three mullets. Traces of red enamel survive on both faces, although much less beneath the horizontal band. Consequently it is not certain whether the two stars (mullets) above the band are complemented by a third below.
