County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead disc with a flower design on a latticed background and a small but visible suspension loop at the top.There is also 18.49mm long pin on the reverse for sewing the badge to a garment. There does not appear to be any religious connotation to the design so this must be a secular badge but it does have a back pin very similar to many pilgrim badges. This suggests that it dates from the same period as these 14th-15th century souvenirs

The upper part of an incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch. The way this object flares out into a flatish oval from which projects the stub of perforated lug to anchor the spring suggests that this may be part of a trumpet headed type.

Object type: HARNESS PENDANT

County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy horse harness pendant of Medieval date. The pendant is cruciform in plan with four swelling projections from a central square, which in turn extend into narrow arms terminating in faceted rectangles. One of the projections serves as a suspension loop, extending upwards from the top of the pendant; it is pierced horizontally, though iron survives in the hole. Signs of gilding remain. Pendants bearing similar forms are illustrated by Griffiths in Clark (1995: 68 Fig. 50, Cat. 67) and Cherry in Saunders (1991:23 Fig. 4, Cat. 20). Horse harness pendants of this type are gen…

A copper alloy horse harness pendant of Medieval date. The pendant is circular in plan. Its suspension loop extends upwards from the top of the pendant and is pierced horizontally.
