Description: | A cast copper-alloy terminal collar from a drop handle of medieval date. The small zoomorphic style collar is in the form of a beast's head, probably that of a dog. The forward facing head has a gaping mouth and lines delineating the eyes and eyebrows, behind which moulded and incised sub-oval ears on each side with a central groove. The 'neck' is particularly large and is (hollow) oval in cross-section. This recess narrows towards the animal's muzzle. The piece has corroded and is slightly pitted with a uniform deep grey-green surviving patina. Similar zoomorphic terminal collars can be found illustrated in Egan (1998, 175; ref. 487) and on this database. | Subjects: | handle collar | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
