Antiquities » Medieval » Heraldic Pendants

During the Medieval period horses harnesses were often elaborately decorated with studs, bosses and heraldic pendants. Evidence for this use is contained in various illuminated manuscripts from the 12th Century onwards. These medieval pendants were suspended from various straps on the harness including the peytrel across the chest and the brow band across the forehead. Medieval Heraldic Pendants served two distinct purposes. The first is heraldic in which those entitled to bear arms, emblazoned the harness with their colours. It is also likely that those classes that were not entitled to bear arms could choose a pseudo heraldic or stock device as their symbol on their pendants. The second purpose is one of pure decoration of the harness, but here in some cases at least, an amuletic or magical purpose may have been intended.
