Description: | Copper alloy zoomorphic strap end. The strap end is of Thomas's Class B, Type 4 (multi-headed), with a split end, slightly tapering shaft and a zoomorphic terminal. There is one copper alloy rivet in the centre of the split end.
The shaft has three raised transverse collars, each decorated with two punched ring-and-dot motifs forming the eyes of three extremely stylised animal heads. One of these heads forms the terminal, while the other two face each other along the body of the strap-end, and have four further punched ring-and-dot motifs forming the animals' nostrils. | 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: | 800
