EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 1200s, known as the Harness Pendant. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece is believed to have served as a pendant or hanging ornament during its time. The loop at the top suggests that it might have been attached to a horse's breastplate, adding an elegant touch to their attire.
