A cast copper-alloy harness pendant of Medieval date, probably c. 1200-1300. The pendant is largely complete, missing a portion of the very worn suspension loop. The pendant is sub-square in plan with a thick outer edge with moulded notches, creating a wavy, beaded effect. The field is sunken, of 3-4mm depth, with a central, domed square boss. Most of the field retains a veneer of blue enamel, less than 1mm in thickness. The reverse is undecorated. The suspension loop emerges from the centre of the upper edge.

A copper alloy medieval harness pendant dating from 1200 - 1405 AD. The pendant is shield shaped and has a blue enamel background covered with fleur de lis. The silvering or gilding of the fleurs is missing, but they were probably gilded, making this the Arms of France Ancient (Azure semy-de-lis or). DUR-A54350 notes Irene Szymanski's comment that: "France Ancient remained the French arms until the late 14th century when, in accordance with an edict of Charles V in 1376, the number of fleurs-de-lys was reduced to three. In fact, as coins show, the edict took some time to take effect, …
