ROMAN HARNESS PENDANT
200
A cast copper alloy Roman period harness pendant. The suspension loop is missing. The pendant has a narrow body based around a flat triangle (point downwards); the lower end splays out into two knops, below which is a terminal in the form of a miniature phallus. The artefact is in fair condition and ‘well patinated’. K. Leahy believes this dates to the 3rd or 4th century.
