Description: | Early Medieval copper alloy object of unknown use.
The object is incomplete and irregular in shape but appears to have been originally rectangular. It is decorated in a local variation of the Jelling style with intertwining tendrils and circular shapes. Remnants of a silver-coloured surface treatment are extant.
Two pierced lugs protrude from one of its longer sides. They contain the remains of what was presumably a bar which linked the two lugs together. Each lug sits on the end of a rectangular shaped strip which extends across the reverse of the object. At the end of one of these strips is another pierced lug, positioned on the rear surface and at an angle of 90 degrees to the other two lugs. There was presumably a matching rear lug at the end of the second strip, but that section of the object is now missing. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McNestrie, Beth - Museum of Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
