Description: | A cast copper alloy zoomorphic terminal from the end of a casket or small chest handle.
The object consists of a sub-rectangular terminal with the features of an animals head- ears, mouth and snout- depicted with incised lines. The back of the head is flat with a short piece of copper alloy extending from the centre of it. This is circular in section and terminated by a worn break. This copper alloy extension would have formed the beginnings of the handle proper.
There is a copper alloy rivet in situ opposite this element of the object, in the snout of the animal.
The object is worn with a mid grey patina. It is medieval in date, circa 14th - 15th century. | Subjects: | [handle] | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
