Description: | Early Medieval copper alloy mount fragment, 27mm long, 12mm wide and 3mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 4 grams. The object is a fragment of an Urnes style harness mount and is roughly in the form of a figure 8 which has been bent slightly. At the centre of the object is a sub rectangular raised area, which seems to portray a knot? The two loops are of similar size and are semi-circular in section. Each is decorated on its curved side with punched rings. There are sevreal signs of breakage on the sides of the object. The most obvious is at one end where the object has a sub-circular raised area just below a rectangular sectioned break. The object is probably an Urnes style mount dipicting a serpent. It is similar to No. 10, plate 75 in Leahy, K The Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Lindsey. | Subjects: | Anglo-Scandinavian | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
