Description: | Sub-rectangular copper-alloy mount with openwork Urnes-style decoration of an interlacing animal. There is a diagonal break towards one end (neither particularly old nor particularly new) but at the surviving corners are small circular rivet holes. The decoration is hard to decipher - a large patch of corrosion adds to the problems - but a large pointed-oval eye can be seen and a thicker ?body which interlaces with thinner thread-like ?limbs, tail etc. Surviving length 42 mm. | 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: | 850
