Description: | A medieval copper alloy strap mount in the form of a bear??s head. The mount is domed with a hollow back and is sub-circular in shape. It is 13.3mm long, 11,3mm wide and 7.1mm thick. The top of the bear??s head is circular but its snout is on a rounded projection downwards. The top of the head is cast with crisscrossing lines to represent hair. There are ears cast at the sides, and the eyes are formed by two pairs of slanting lines on the sides of the projection. There is a single integral spike stemming from the reverse of the dome. The mount is probably medieval in date. It has a patchy dark green and brown patina. Mounts of similar construction can be seen in Egan??s Dress Accessories but none are in the form of a bear. | Subjects: | Mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
