Medieval Royal Knight's Enamelled Bronze Heraldic Horse Harness Pendant
12th century A.D. On a quatrefoil shield with pierced lug above, two lions passant gardant facing left, originally gilded, the field once containing red enamel. See Ashley, S., Medieval Armorial Horse Furniture in Norfolk, East Anglian Archaeology 101, Dereham, 2002, for discussion. 6.93 grams, 33 mm (1 3/8 in.).

Found Norfolk, UK, circa 1990s.

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. [No Reserve]
