Description: | Fragmentary cast copper alloy object; consists of a fragmentary bar of sub-triangular section which curves slightly in profile; the upper surface of the bar terminates in a stylised moulded animal head seen from above with deeply facetted eyes and a sub-triangular snout; the metal beyond the animal head expands into a flat circular plate, pierced centrally with an iron pin or rivet, of which only the central shank survives; corrosion from this pin has spread to cover much of the reverse of the plate; the front surface is also heavily corroded possibly with the remains of a vitreous substance, perhaps enamel? This object is well made and the animal head suggests an Anglo-Saxon date possibly Mid to Late. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Thomas, Gabor | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
