Description: | The terminal is a zoomorphic style, possibly representing the face of a dog. The terminal is oval in section, and this generally applies its length. The 'nose' of the terminal is the side face, and is oval shaped and undecorated. In the centre is a circular protrusion, which appears to be a separate rivet head. The eyes are slightly indented and are formed by low relief triangles. The mouth is formed by a horizontal notch which appears on one side only. The ears are set back from the face and are obliquely angled dome-like pointed oval shapes with a central linear groove. The width of the item tapers slightly to the mounting point at the opposite side face. In the centre of this face is a circular protrusion with a broken face. This protrusion may not be an integral part of the main component, suggested by the rivet head at the opposite end. The style of the object is similar to the ewer spouts of the late medieval early post-medieval period. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
