Description: | A copper alloy zoomorphic cheek piece from an Anglo-Scandinavian horse harness. Although of copper alloy, the metal has pinkish patination, covered by patches of green patination. The object is in the shape of an animal's (a dragon?) head, and is decorated with incised lines. A circular hole perforates the piece, and the broken half of an attachment loop is at on end. The piece varies in thickness, from less than 2mm at the animal's snout to over 8mm at the broken loop. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
