Description: | Copper-alloy strap fitting fragment, possibly part of a strap junction. It has a stylised ox head at the centre, which is long and narrow with folded ears at the top. Two slight incisions form eyes. On either side beneath the ears are two loops through which the straps would run. Below the end of the animal's nose is a further loop, although this has been broken. The reverse of the object is flat. The object is probably late Iron Age to early Roman in date and is similar to the stylised animal heads shown in Macgregor 1976, 'Early Celtic Art in North Britain', figures 312 to 322. | 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: | -100
