Title
Harness pendant
Description
English: Copper alloy shield shaped heraldic horse harness pendant dating to the medieval period. The pendant is fairly worn and the colour of the background has worn away. The front surface depicts a ‘saltire engrailed gules’( a red indented cross) which divides the surface into four sections.

If the background of the decorated surface is silver, the pendant may depict the arms of Tibetot (Payn is the son and Robert the father). Robert, of Langer, Nottinghamshire, also had lands in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. He served in the Welsh campaign of 1277 and was justice of West Wales 1280-81 and 1298. He was involved in extensive land dealings with manors in many places including a few in Yorkshire at Bentley and Hagenthwaite. Payn de Tibetot was his son and heir; he was justice of Chester and Sherriff of Flint 1309-11. He was summoned to serve against the Scots in 1310-14, dying at Bannockburn. The name is sometimes cited as ‘Tiptoft’ instead of Tibetot.

The pendant has a pierced lug at the top of the shield which is cast at a right angle to the pendant so that it could be set in a hanger and would swing freely. The pendant has been recorded from an image only but the measurements are: 36mm in length and 23mm in width.
