Description: | Medieval rectangular belt mount, incomplete and distorted. The front is decorated in counter-relief with a wyvern facing right (i.e. to sinister), with bifurcated spiral tail and left leg raised. Rivet holes near two corners. On the opposite edge one of probably two lobes with rivets is extant. The decoration is cast rather than pared away (cf. Dress Accessories no. 530) and would have been against a champlev?? enamel background. 36 x 34mm or x 37 with lobe included. Probably a Limoges product. Late 12th ?? 13th century. | 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 |
