Description: | A cast copper alloy object, which could be medieval in date.
The object is formed from a plate of copper alloy. Projecting up from the plate is a zoomorphic head. On the top of the head, there is a crest or stylised mane, comprised of six ridges. There is a stylised mouth as well on the head.
The plate has been decorated with six parallel lines, running lengthways down the back of the plate. Two iron rivets remain in situ, running down the centre of the plate.
The metal is a mid greyish-green colour.
This object is possibly some sort of strap fitting or strap end which may have been attached to a leather strap. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
