Description: | Copper alloy strap-end with niello and silver wire decoration. Cast strap-end with a well moulded zoomorphic terminal; oval ears with lunate incisions, lentoid eyes with circular pupils and a protruding snout. The brow and nose are decorated with a single field of niello and Ag wire. At the split-end which has been formed by applying a separate backplate (join evident on reverse) is a single centrally placed rivet hole, the upper edge carries V-shaped nicks. The front panel carries two longitudinal panels of niello and Ag wire inlay, the wire takes the form of C-scrolls set back-to-back across both panels. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
