Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy chatelaine. Only the frame edge and part of the loop below survives. The frame is oval in cross-section and has a thickened terminal in the form of an animals neck and head. The neck is square in cross-section and the head of the animal is at a right angle to it, facing inwards towards the hook. There is a pair of moulded ovals depicting the ears and a smaller pair depicting the eyes. The mouth is open as if the animal is bellowing. The hook below is incomplete. The surface has been gilded.
A similar complete example is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database as BH-4A9D88 (Thanks to Julian Watters for this parallel). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
