Balgeddie

NO 1723 0346 Metal detecting by Mr J Crombie recovered an enamelled copper alloy horse pendant. It is very worn with only a speck of red enamel surviving. The suspension loop is now only a stub and the bottom right and left edges are severely abraded. The surviving straight edges suggest it was of lozenge form originally. The central design is of a lion passant on a square background, a common variant on equally common quatrefoil pendants of similar design and colouring (including an example from Scone reported in DES 2004). It measures L: 40.1mm x W: 29.7mm.

Claimed as treasure trove and allocated to Perth Museum and Art Gallery (registration number 2007.176), with the reward generously waived by the finder.
