File:Harness pendant reverse (FindID 63665).jpg

English: An elaborate quatrefoil shaped Medieval harness pendant with the suspension mount still attached, but broken just below the loop, leaving a well worn stump. Ashley believes that these elaborate harness pendants were a later development of the earlier pendants. The pendant depicts a rampant lion facing left. The lion itself is made of a raised copper-alloy design. The lion is surrounded by an infilled surface of red (gules) enamel. The section, which has been decorated with red enamel, is enclosed within a shield shape. The shield is outlined with a raised copper-alloy line. All of the enamel on this pendant has been used to infill the areas between raised copper-alloy lines, which form the design. Each lobe of the quatrefoil design depicts curving lines, three of which could be animals or birds the bottom one maybe a double leafed plant motif. The area around these designs has been enamelled in probably a blue (azure) enamel, however this area is now green due to corrosion.
The reverse of the pendant is undecorated; the copper-alloy has a dark reddish-brown patina. This metal also has a dark reddish-green patina. The artefact has been drawn as it looked at the time this record made, hence why the symbol for green (vert) has been drawn instead of blue. Blue enamel often corrodes to form a green substance, so therefore one would expect this pendant to be blue. Similar pendants can be seen in Ashley, 2002, pp21, Fig. 21, no. 204 (reference below).
Nick Griffiths suggested to the finder that the lion may have been gold or silver. If the lion was gold, this pendant could represent a member of the FitzAlan family, the Earls of Arundel. Sir Richard died in 1302, so it could have belonged to his son Edmund or one of his sons.
If the lion was silver the pendant could represent the Mowbray family. Sir John Mowbray took part in the Dunstable tournament in 1308. His father Roger was still alive in 1314, so John was probably alive some time later.
