Title
Medieval Enamelled Harness Pendant
Description
English: A small, gilded copper alloy harness pendant, with a broken suspension loop. It consists of a diamond shaped field, with trifoliate projections on each of its sides, forming an overall square shape. Within the diamond is a simple quatrefoil couloured with blue enamel. There is a close parallel from London, though this features a central sexfoil rather than quatrefoil, and the enamel has been lost (see Clark 1995: no.70).

The pendant is 21.6mm high. In detail, its decorative area measures 13.5mm high by 14.6mm wide, and 2.8mm thick, whil the suspension loop has a maximum thickness of 5.8mm, is 3.4mm wide, and 7.1 mm high. It weighs 3.5g.

Horse harness pendants date between the 12th and 15th centuries, but rectangular examples, and most with gilding, enamelling and floriate ornament date from the 13th and 14th centuries (Clark 1995: 62).
