A medieval copper alloy horse harness pendant. The pendant is shield-shaped with the remains of an attachment hoop projecting from the top. The front face of the pendant depicts a lion rampant within a shield-shaped border; much of the red enamel remains on the lion. The back of the pendant is plain. Shield-shaped (type I) pendants are thought to date from the 14th century, and would have been attached to the leather harness for a horse. However, some pendants with gems or bearing inscriptions are thought to have been for personal use.
