Description: | Copper-alloy bar mount, bent, concave sided (11 x 43mm), faint traces of transverse striations, circular perforation at each end, one containing Ae blunt spike (length 15mm) for attachment to ?wooden ??shield or ?box. Early or middle Anglo-Saxon.Helen Geake writes: this sounds like the small objects from seventh- and early eighth-century graves which are thought to have been used as catches on bags or boxes. Several can be seen in West (1998) fig. 21, nos. 17-21. This conjecture is based, however, on the description, as there is no image attached. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
