Description: | Copper alloy belt mount, dating to circa 1450 AD - 1550 AD. It is hollow backed (domed), and in the form of the face of a man, with an open hole circular mouth. Above this are two circular holes which appear to represent nosals. The nose is actually the rivet holding the backplate in place. The eyes are also circular open holes, with incised lines making them tear drop shaped. At each side of the face are two oval shaped ears. There are also incised linear lines representing hair, on the bottom and top of the face. | 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: | 1450
