Bronze, exceptionally large, 1 3/4” diameter of very slightly domed form. Broadband with line borders now somewhat obscured by degradation and texture from burial. Slotted for the captive cross pin. Worn in multiples attached to leather or heavy wool jerkins, this example is easily capable of absorbing a sword blow without failure. Large iconic representative of these protective dress accessories. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored and suspended from an 18” modern Sterling silver mounted polished leather neck cord for modern wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
