It is tear-drop shaped in plan, the narrow end being the nose and eyes of the animal. The wider end is a split end with 2 holes in to attach to the strap. Below the holes, before the central panel, is a crescent with a floral decoration inside. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
