Description: | A copper-alloy mount, possibly from an Anglo-saxon casket or box. The mount is 16.5 mm in length and 10 mm wide. The design on the object may be zoomorphic. At the top of the mount are two sub-triangular forms set within oval markings which may represent ears or horns. An incised line underlines these features. The design then forms a snout, which tapers inwards on both sides. On either side where the snout tapers are circular perforations which are surrounded by semi-circular incisions, producing an eye effect. At the bottom on the object the snout tapers outwards again, with cicrular perforations at the right-angles of each side forming nostril holes. The middle of the snout also has a cross with a line running vertically through its centre. The reverse of the object is undecorated and was probably attached to something from this side. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
