Description: | A small unidentified copper-alloy object, possibly of Medieval date. The object is broken and the break looks very worn. It appears to be (possibly) part of a bird mount. All that remains is the bird??s tail, one wing and part of the body. The object is symmetrical suggesting that there would have been another 'wing' on the opposite side to the one which survives. The head is missing. The object weighs 2.50g, if it is a bird and it is stood with the tail at the bottom the object measures 18.16mm in height and 17.16mm in width (across the remains of the 'wings'). The artefact has been bent and is therefore curves. On the front face of the 'tail' there are small groves which have been jabbed into the metal and dashed into horizontal lines. These lines have been filled with a white material. The reverse is completely blank. The metal has gone a characteristically mid-greyish green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
