EUROPEAN WOMAN's NECKLACE PENDANT C.1250-1450

Description

Silvered bronze, over 7/8" height. Of armorial form, possibly representing "Greek fire" which would indicate Crusaders among the forebears. These are thought to represent the targets at which knights rode in field events like the Landshuter Hochzeit. A series of targets were hung from iron loops and competing knights would ride with lances, attempting to dislodge as many shields as possible. This pendant may be a gift from such a knight to his lady. Professionally refurbished with the silver surface restored and suspended from a modern Sterling silver neck chain. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
