Oval pendant of elliptical section with a broken triangular loop. Both faces are convex with incised herringbone motifs and were originally silvered or tinned. A blob of copper alloy on one side appears to be corrosion from another object. Although the object bears some resemblance to a military apron pendant (see Oldenstein 1976, Nos 293-5), 414-8) there is a more marked similarity to an earring pendant such as can be seen on an example from Brougham (Allason-Jones forthcoming a) and an earring from a tomb at Tortosa in Syria dated to 2nd-3rd century AD (Marshall 1969, No 2406, single pendant hanging from a boxed sardonyx), both of gold.
