Description: | Small but three-dimensional copper-alloy mount, perhaps from a strap. 23 mm long, each flat rounded end has a rivet hole blocked by iron corrosion. Between the terminals the mount is triangular in cross-section. Below one of the terminals is a stylised animal head with grooved eyes, a broad pointed nose and open jaws. Beyond the open jaws the mount has, on each facet, a moulded triangle decorated with oblique grooves; these increase the width to the maximum of 8.5 mm. Beyond these, and just before the other terminal, the section changes briefly to a tall triangle, increasing the thickness of the mount to 5.5 mm. The mount must be medieval, but a good parallel has not been found. | Subjects: | mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
