Hello folks,

I found a couple of interesting thing yesterday.

The first one looks like it might be a pendant, it's about two inches long, with three holes and looks like it a crude skeleton depicted on it.

The second looks like a medieval badge?

I'd be very grateful for your insights please.

I know it's not a very good picture, but has anyone got any ideas on the badge type thingy?

I was scared you might ask that Grin Well it's a mount and it only has one central fastener so that points to it being for furniture (or something that doesn't move/flex) rather than for a belt/strap but that's where any certainty from me ends Huh What shape is the tack.fixing on the back...square or round? square ones "tend" to be earlier Wink

Cheers Geoff,

The point at the end is kind of straight edged, but it's a bit corroded so it's hard to tell. Ahh, who cares, the other thing is Saxon!!!!  Cheesy
