Description: | This little mount shaped like a fly is 18mm long, 8mm wide at the broadest point of the wings, and 2mm thick. It has three distinct elements, namely a small circular 'head 2mm in circumference, then a band 3mm long and 4mm wide representing the thorax, and finally a long flaring portion represnting the wings, with a V-shaped notch or indentation at the mid-point of the back of the wings to indicate their outline. Underneath, issuing from the flat back, are two pointed rivets or fastening pins which have been bent over acutely to secure the ornament to a belt or strap. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
