Description: | Copper-alloy bar mount, bent, concave sided (11 x 43mm), faint traces of transverse striations, circular perforation at each end, one containing Ae blunt spike (length 15mm) for attachment to ?wooden ??shield or ?box. Early or middle Anglo-Saxon. Helen Geake writes: this sounds like the small objects from seventh- and early eighth-century graves which are thought to have been used as catches on bags or boxes. Several can be seen in West (1998) fig. 21, nos. 17-21. This conjecture is based, however, on the description, as there is no image attached. | 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: | 600
