Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Early Medieval mount with zoomorphic decoration. The surviving part has a rounded terminal decorated with a bird's head. This has a curved beak with two grooves along its length and a circular eye with central pellet. The remaining edges are broken but part of a right-angled border remains, possibly demarcating a square or rectangular panel with no surviving detail. Traces of gilding are visible in the area of the bird's head. The reverse is undecorated with a small protruding circular stud. The object is likely to have been a harness mount (K. Leahy pers. comm.). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
