Description: | A cast copper-alloy stylised bird-head-and-neck mount, of unknown function and date, but probably post-Medieval. The object consists of a stylised bird's head with a ring-and-dot eye at the end of curved neck. The neck is oval in section, with slightly flattened sides. The function of the object is unknown. It could have been a coat-hook or curtain hook, or a mount for some item to be displayed on a table, like a casket or basket. It has also been suggested to have been a candlestick handle.
Other similar objects, though less complete are: NMS-558573, BH-IEE6E7, BERK-858873, NCL-775DF4 and SOM-6B52C5. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
