Description: | Medieval strap slider; cast copper alloy, asymmetrical, double loop strap slider with zoomorphic decoration dating to the late 14th century. The slider has a narrow D-shaped frame of flat, rectangular cross-section with a bar of similar size and section across it, close to the back edge of the frame. The front edge of the frame is expanded to form a stylised animal head, with a moulded, semi-circular protrusion on either side (to represent ears or eyes). There are also incised dots across the ??head?? and three chevron lines along the ??muzzle??, which may represent the eyes and the shaping of the muzzle. Finally there are two little nicks in the end of the muzzle which suggest a mouth.
Length 21.3mm, width 17.2mm, thickness (across ears) 8.6mm, weight 4.00g | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rohde, Anja | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
