Short arched bow, faceted at corners, convex at front and concave behind, broken at base. Tapering field below bow decorated around the perimeter with punched crescents, flanked entirely on both sides by a zoomorphic lappet, again decorated with punched crescents. Double-collar moulding at the junction with the foot, leading onto an animal head with projecting forehead with temples slightly curved around the prominent circular eyes. Scroll shaped nostrils terminating with a broad sub-rectangular extension, both decorated with punched crescents. Double lug on reverse for hinged pin (missing). Catchplate intact. Iron corrosion on lug and catchplate. | 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
