File:Medieval copper alloy harness pendant (FindID 454752).jpg

The harness pendant is of two-part form, comprising a frame and swivelling pendant and is near-complete, missing the suspension mount and one terminal (with a length of 47.7mm and a weight of 11.7g). The suspension mount was hinged through a lug (3.1mm thick 6.0mm wide), which has broken through the central perforation (2.8mm diameter). The quatrefoil frame (with a width of 29.2mm) is open and an arm projecting outwards from between each of the four lobes (giving the pendant a maximum width of 34.0mm). The arms are of D-shaped section with straight sides and terminating in a sub-rectangular knop. The detail on the terminals has been lost, although there is the suggestion of side leaves or projection at their bases. The inner pendant remains in place and would have swivelled from the apex of the frame. The inner pendant is of fleur-de-lis form (with a width of 15.9mm) and is convex with molded form. The pendant is convex across its length (with a depth of 6.2mm). The original surface has been lost and the pendant is heavily-pitted with a golden bronze surface.

Swivelling forms of pendant can be paralleled with an example recorded by Read (1988) from Haccombe, Devon which has a sexfoil frame and circular inner pendant. An example published by Ashley (2002, p 46, no 234) from Snotesham, Norfolk has a central fleur-de-lis device on a lozenge panel with extending arms and scallop terminals and may possibly suggest scallop terminals on this example.
