Description: | The mount has a zoomorphic design, similar to a curved fish. The 'tail' is square where is joins the body and the end of the tail divides into two points curving outwards. Running around the outside edge of the tail is a single groove. The tail is covered in gold gilding. The 'body' of the item is a flat curved shape with a rounded terminal. On the edge of the convex there appears to be two 'feet', however the one near the 'head' has broken. There are traces of gilding where the 'foot' joined the body. The other 'leg' is a sub-square shape with curved sides. It has traces of gilding and a grooved line forming a border. On the reverse there are two protrusions. One at the 'head' and the other in the 'centre' of the tail. These appear to be the mounting rivets. | 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: | 500
