Description: | Cast copper alloy Medieval hooked mount with no rivets. The object is the suspension loop and decorative lower stop from a larger, unidentified object. The suspension loop is oval in plan and in cross-section, and does not join the shank at the bottom. The stop below is thicker than the loop and is square in cross-section, tapering to an animal headed terminal. The animal head appears to be a dog; the head is a rectangular block at 90 degrees to the shank, faceted on the top to mark the ears and eyes of the animal, and has a simple incised transverse line to mark the mouth. The object has been gilded although most of it is missing.
The object is very similar to refs. 362 and 363 in Brian Read's 'History Beneath our Feet' (p. 68) | Subjects: | Hook | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
