Description
- Pendant medallion
- Bronze
- Medallion, diam. 1.65, th. 3 mm. Hanger, l. current 5 mm., w. 7 mm.
- A small thick round bronze medallion, plain on both sides. The main portion is circled by a rim of reduced thickness. The cast object seems made in one piece with its wide hanger. This consists in a strip of thinner bronze bent / rolled tightly (once) right at the medallion edge. See O 426 for another small medallion pendant from the same SU, 4136, though it is cruder and unornamented.
- Fair. A portion of medallion below is broken away. The warped hanger flap is slightly crushed. Its turned under flap has worked free. rnSee 0 426 from the same SU, 4136, another tiny medallion pendant, though of different make, and ornamented.
