A copper alloy Medieval harness pendant. It is incomplete due to old breaks, and is missing its loop for suspension and the knops which give this type of pendant an octofoil shape. It is a flat disc bearing traces of incised line decoration forming part of a star near the centre. All around the edges is a mass of tiny punched circles, any intended pattern or clustering being undiscernible due to wear and patination of the metal. There are traces of gilding on this surface. The pendant is approximatley oval, and measures 38.53mm by 35.96mm. It weighs 5.65g. Similar pendants from Norf…

A copper alloy medieval harness pendant. It is a quatrefoil shape and complete, though the right side lobe is worn and flattened. The suspension loop at the top is turned at 90 degrees to the body of the pendant. There is a shield with three lions on the front with traces of gilding, which an also be seen in patches on the lobes. Due to the amount of wear, it is not possible to be certain that there are fleurs de lis in the top and side lobes. The shield descends into the lower lobe. Ashley suggests a date post 1340 for this type of harness mount, when the fleur de lis of France was q…

A copper alloy probable medieval harness pendant, largely comprising the extant suspension mount. The object has a lozengiform terminal 19.7mmin length,the surface of which is now corroded, but has traces of three raised diagonal bars which have created fields presumably for infilling with enamel (now missing). The point of the lozenge appears to have had a hole drilled through, with the remains of a rivet rusted in situ (non magnetic). There is one complete loop, and one that is broken, projecting on either side from the horizontal points of the lozenge. The complete loop measures 4.…

A copper alloy Medieval harness pendant. It has a cruciform shape, with lobed terminals to each arm of the cross, forming a quatrefoil. There is a perforation through the centre, circular at the front but hexagonal on the back surface. This would have taken a stud, probably to hold a strap or ribbon.

The pendant measures 44.41mm in length, 33.16mm in width, and weighs 10.86g.
