Post-medieval silver gilt pendant
Silver gilt heart-shaped pendant with a front raised in repousse style and engraved with the symbols of Christ's wound, soldered to a back-plate cut from a sheet and indented by filing. A two-strand 'rope-twist' filigree wire border encircles the heart, concealing the joint and a loop has been soldered at the top to the front of the back plate, cut and drilled at this point to form an integral means of suspension. The loop still has a fine twisted wire suspension ring attached. The gilding is exceptionally well preseved, on front and back (slightly thinning towards the centre of the backplate).
