Description: | A copper-alloy mount of probable 12th to 14th century AD date.
The object is in the form of the bust of a king. The head is angular and has a slightly raised upper surface with crudely-depicted incised eyes, nose and mouth. The head is topped by a three-lobed crown. At the bottom, the head tapers into the neck. The torso is angular and has a flat surface, with no figurative detail depicted in the casting. It has been broken off at the bottom and contains the remnant of a small copper-alloy rivet. The reverse is flat and plain and the lower plate (torso area) is slightly recessed, which suggets that the neck and head were designed to stand proud of the object to which the mount was originally fixed.
It measures 24.9mm high by 10.7mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The weight is 2.94g. | Subjects: | Figurative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
