Description: | A cast copper alloy Anglo-Saxon animal head terminal, probably from a cruciform brooch, that has possibly been reused as a strap fitting. The piece is a stylised horse's head, widening along its length with slightly protuding nostrils and much more marked protuding eyes. The piece narrows above the eyes, and has a raised transverse collar, separating the head terminal from the next panel. Most of this panel has broken off, but there is evidence of a circular perforation that may be an attachment hole indicating reuse of the terminal as a strap end. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
