Early medieval pendant |

| Description |
English: An incomplete Early Medieval copper alloy harness pendant, dating to c. 1000-1100. The object is formed of two pieces.
The first piece is the hanger. This is trifoliate in shape, formed of three rounded terminals projecting out. Each rounded terminal has an iron circular rivet through the centre, with iron staining surrounding it. Below the top terminal there is moulded decoration in the shape of a raised V, around the other two terminals are V shaped grooves. In between the lower terminals the hanger attachment projects, this is formed of two rounded hoops, through which the iron rivet would have sat and held the pendant in place. The pendant attachment would have sat in the notch between the hoops. There is iron staining remaining on the hanger. The second piece is the pendant. It was originally oval in shape, but only half of it remains. It has openwork decoration, with thin bars creating irregular rounded and triangular shapes in the body of the pendant. The breaks at either end are worn. On the outside of the frame are double lined projections spaced at regular intervals, some are worn. The inside edges are bevelled, and the reverse is flat. It is possible that the decoration is zoomorphic and depicts two creatures either side of the attachment loop, however the object is very worn. The hanger and pendant has a dark green patina, with red orange iron staining. The hanger measures 27.8mm in length, 21.9mm in width, 6.7mm in thickness and weighs 7.10g. The pendant measures 34.5mm in length, 20.5mm in width, 7.1mm in thickness and weighs 4.88g. The harness pendant is similar to PUBLIC-1FCD40. |
