Description: | Copper alloy casket mount. The mount is elongated and has one complete end, and one incomplete. At the incomplete end the object is broken along the line of a circular rivet hole, which would have attached the mount to the side of a casket. The stem section here is triangular in cross-section and decorated with three sets of incised chevrons aligned with their apex pointing towards the rivet hole. The stem then meets two moulded flat trapezoidal collars which have a pair of moulded triangular ears to either side at the top. Each trapezoidal collar is decorated with transverse and diagonal grooves. In its entirety the collars probably represent an abstract animal head. The rest of the stem beyond this is D-shaped in cross section and tapers to a rounded terminal. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
