Description: | The item is in two components, firstly the mounting frame and secondly the pendant which is suspended from the frame. The mounting point is circular. In the centre is a large rivet hole. The impression of the rivet head is visible due to its lack of gilding. The design on the mount is a border of stamped annulets. On the lower edge are two lugs protruding. The lugs are formed by a strap of metal which is folded backwards and a notch creates the two lugs. A copper alloy axis bar holds the pendant. The reverse of the mount is plain except for the folded strip. Gilt remains on the outward facing surface. The pendant is circular and is dome shaped. A lug holding the suspension loop protrudes from the upper edge. The design on the pendant is also a border of stamped annulets, and is gilded. The reverse is plain. | 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: | 1066
