Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy fragment of zoomorphic form probably dating from the later early-medieval period. Both the eyes and a mouth are discernible. Following an old break at the neck, the artefact to which this terminal was attached has been lost. The artefact in question was probably a buckle. Certain early-medieval buckles, examples of which can be found on this database (refs. LEIC-F43CE1, WAW-2F8AD6, HAMP-92CE07), feature such terminals, and the suggestion that this example was from this period is based on such examples. | 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
