Description: | Copper-alloy mount in the form of a stylised human head with upstanding hair. The face of the mount is quite crude, with slight depressions for eyes and a general rise for the nose. The mouth is formed by a crude slit. The reverse of the mount is plain apart from a copper-alloy rivet. The object is 15 mm long and 13 mm wide.
A similar form of mount, but depicting a woman??s head is known from a 15th century context at Swan Lane, London (Egan & Pritchard 1991, 202 no. 1092 fig. 127). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brindle, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
