Description: | Cast co-alloy belt hook (poss. military) in the shape of a serpent. It displays quite a fine craftsmenship, the belly of the snake being grooved, while the back is covered in scales. Head, mouth and eyes are easily recognisable and the scales as well as part of the head were gilded (traces remain in some of the scales and one side of the head). | 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: | 1500
