Object type: HARNESS PENDANT

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An elaborate quatrefoil shaped cast copper alloy harness pendant, with inlaid enamelling. Ashley believes that these elaborate harness pendants were a later development of the earlier pendants. This example displays 'arms which are allusive for England and France' (Ashley, 2002, p23). He goes on to state that such pendants are likely to have been made after 1340 'when the fleur-de-lis of France were quartered with the lions of England'. Although an earlier date cannot be ruled out, due to earlier known alliances between England and France. The pendant has four lobes, each with a small…

A copper-alloy Medieval annular brooch dating to the period c.AD 1200-1300. The brooch is broadly ovate in plan, with a rectangular cross-section.

Copper alloy unidentified object. A small narrow cast rectangular-section bar of width 3.7mm, with a possibly zoomorphic rounded terminal resembling the eyes of a fly at one end; it is plain at the other end. Two drilled holes of diameter 1.3mm are set near the rounded terminal, between low flanges and a ridge linking them which bears four neatly incised transverse cuts. Here, two pairs of opposed half-round knops project from either side of the bar, slightly offset both from each other and from the holes, perhaps to represent legs. The terminal itself is divided by a tiny central rid…
