Teardrop pendant, flat with a bulbous end. The face was tinned and decorated with a complex but delicate pounced design, reminiscent of a fern. A similar pendant is known from Colchester (Crummy 1983, no. 4619 & 4647). Two examples from Stockstadt and Pfunz are shaped like vine leaves with the pounced lines following the veins of the leaves (Oldenstein 1976, taf 30 nos. 207 & 208). The Segontium and Colchester pendants are probably debased copies of the vine-leaf motif. The loop or hook at the top broken off but otherwise complete apart from a slight notch out of one side.
Site Name: Segontium, Caernarfon
