Description: | Hollow cast flattened sphere from central part of Medieval swivel from a dog??s leash. The sides are decorated with obliquely moulded ribs and grooves, and there is a round perforation at top and base. The decoration is similar to that on an example from Kirby Cane (HER 36238), which has additional radial ornament around the top and base. Diameter 29mm. Height 18mm. Perforation diameter 7.5 ?? 8mm. Other more highly decorated swivels from leashes have been dated to the 11th or 12th century. (J. Cherry in EAA 112, 116-7). Perhaps this one is slightly later in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
