Description: | Fragmentary copper alloy harness fitting; cruciform shaped with a flat central plate consisting of a central sub-rectangular element with side arms ending in crescentic terminals; the front surface of the central plate is decorated with an internal border formed from conjoined punchmarks giving a serrated effect; originally the central rectangular element of the plate would have extended to encompass two arms of D-shaped section with looped terminals, the outer edge of each loop would have carried three projecting knops; in this case only one of the arms and a fragmentary section of the loop survives; a variant of a common form of Anglo-Scandinavian harness fitting characterised by arms with terminal loops elaborated with external knops. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1000
