Incomplete lunular or crescentic Roman copper-alloy harness pendant. Approximately seventy-five per cent is extant, including the integral suspension loop, which is set perpendicular to the crescentic body. One end of the body is original, the other end terminates in a work break a few millimetres to one side of the loop. The crescent seems to follow an oval arc, being probably originally larger in its horizontal than its vertical dimension. It is plano-convex in cross-section (flat on the reverse) and of constant thickness,  tapering in width to a rounded tip at the complete end.…

Incomplete cast copper-alloy military horse harness pendant of Roman date, c. AD 100 - 300. It consists of a flat, heart-shaped plate with concave sides, terminating in a worn break at the base. On the basis of comparable examples, there would have been a phallic terminal here, now lost. The cleft of the heart-shape is occupied by a now incomplete transverse suspension loop. The loop would have had a slot at the rear to allow attachment to a harness. The front face of the pendant is decorated with two tapering grooves which form a chevron at the base of the attachment loop. The reverse…
