Description: | Gilded copper alloy sub-rectangular or tongue-shaped early Anglo-Saxon mount, probably from horse harness. There is interlace decoration within a raised double rim border. The reverse has no gilding. The reverse has two chunky integral rivets, one with a rounded end projecting at 90 degrees and a second rivet projecting at an angle.
This mount is similar to one from Eastry (Fern 2005, fig. 5.12.4 and probably dates to the late 6th or early 7th century. A similar one is recorded on the PAS database at WILT-A240E0. | 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: | 580
