Description: | A cast copper-alloy terminal collar from a drop handle of medieval date. The small zoomorphic style collar is in the form of a beast's head, probably that of a dog. The forward facing head has a gaping mouth and lines delineating the head, behind which two diagonal incisions on one side and two incisions curving towards each other on the other side seemingly represent ears. The 'neck' is particularly large and is (hollow) oval in cross-section. This recess narrows towards the animal's muzzle which retains orange traces of the iron handle. The piece is corroded with a uniform deep green surviving patina. Similar zoomorphic terminal collars can be found illustrated in Egan (1998, 175; ref. 487) and on this database. | 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: | 1300
