Quatrefoil pendant in corroded condition with traces of red and blue enamel. The traces of enamel suggest the design is likley to be that recorded by Ashley (Medieval Armorial Horse Funtiture in Norfolk, EAA 101, 2002, nos. 208-13) i.e., a lion passant or guardant on a square field from each side of which springs a fleur-de-lis? into each foil. Ashley notes (p.23) that the design is allusive for England and France and therefore are more likely to have been made after 1340.

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Blaenau Gwent
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy vessel, leg, sub-trapezoidal in section. The outer edge and sides are decorated with longitudinal grooves. The leg tapers towards its rounded base. The weight of the vessel leg suggests that the copper alloy was leaded. Probably the leg of either a cauldron, skillet, jug or ewer. Close dating is not possible because the form of vessel legs remained similar from the late medieval period until the seventeenth century (Read 1995, 95). Length 46.5mm, maximum width 31.5mm, maximum thickness 20mm. Thirteenth to seventeenth century.
