Object Description
A Medieval gilt bronze horse harness pendant attached to a suspension mount. Both are comprised of a square plate decorated with a heraldic motif. The pendant features a suspension loop to the top, whilst the mount presents two perforated lugs. One in a semi-circular shape at the top and the other in a rectangular shape and extends into a hinge at the bottom. The pendant and the mount display a similar heraldic motif which depicts a lion passant surrounded by a circular border. A fleur-de-lis projects from each corner of the plate, on a pelleted field. The reverse remains undecorated.
