| Description |
English: A copper alloy shield shaped horse harness pendant dating from the medieval period. The pendant has a pointed base and curved sides with a flat top. It is 37.2mm long and 24.5mm wide. The shield is 2.3mm thick. It is decorated with three diagonal lines, the centre one thicker, running from top left to bottom right. There are three rampant lions above the diagonal line, arranged two over one, and three beneath, arranged one over one, over one. The back ground is blue enamel but the motifs are corroded spaces. They may have been gilded or silvered. There is a circular projecting lug on the top of the shield in the centre with a circular hole through it from side to side. The lug is 5.4mm thick. The metal is pitted and has a light green patina.
Similar heraldic horse harness pendants can be seen in Cherry (1991) in Saunders (ed) Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum Medieval Catalogue Part 1. Harness pendants are generally dated from the twelfth to the fourteenth century, with circular and openwork examples predominating the twelfth century, more varied types in the thirteenth and fourteenth century including the enamelled and heraldic types more commonly (Griffiths, 1995, ‘The Medieval Horse and its Equipment’). This pendant appears to bear the arms of the De Bohen family, Earls of Hereford. |
