It is roughly triangular in shape, measuring 39.3mm in height and 30.86mm in width, the apex loop is tall with a circular hole through its terminal. The front face of this mount depicts a human mask with a projecting chin, downward turned mouth and pointed oval shaped eyes. Around the cheeks and arching across the eyes are interlacing ribbons. The right angled flange is complete and there are two circular fixing holes through it, both holes have corroded iron within them from the original iron rivets. There is more corroded iron on the back face of the flange which is the remains of an iron fitting or strap. Similar strap mounts of type 9 have also been discovered in Deal, Kent, Metton and Harling, Norfolk they are all late early medieval c1000-1100 in date (Williams 1997, 51-52, fig 35). | 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: | 1000
