Description
12th century AD. A bronze heater shield harness pendant with pierced lug above, red enamelled field with two lions passant gardant. See Ashley, S. Medieval Armorial Horse Furniture in Norfolk, East Anglian Archaeology 101, Dereham, 2002 for discussion. 4.44 grams, 32mm (1 1/4"). Ex Stratford collection, Suffolk, UK; acquired on the UK art market after 2000. The royal arms of England feature three lions passant gardant from the late 12th century, but there is a suspicion that an earlier version comprised only two such beasts, and that the third was added when Henry II married Eleanor Duchess of Aquitaine in 1152.
