Ca. 1200-1350 AD. A shield-shaped horse harness pendant with a straight upper edge, a central hinged hanger, and convex sides meeting at a point at the bottom. The obverse is embellished with a heraldic emblem on a field of red enamel, which has since worn off over the years. These decorative pieces of metal were used to adorn a horse's harness and provided both decorative and practical benefits. Decoratively, they were used to enhance the appearance of the horse, often made of materials such as copper, bronze, silver, and gold. In addition, they were also used to denote the horse's owner, providing a way to identify the horse and its rider.Size: L:55mm / W:35mm ; 20gProvenance: Private London collector, acquired on the UK Art market, pre-2000.
