Description: | One half of a copper-alloy swivel of medieval date (H. Geake; 2001; pp. 72).
The object consists of a D-shaped loop with two zoomorphic heads - one either side if a circular hole, which is situated at the centre of the horizontal bottom edge. The loop is of sub-circular section and the animal heads have prominent brow ridges and appear to hold the circular hole within their gaping mouths. The surfaces of the piece are slightly corroded.
It measures 28.2mm long, by 24.4mm wide and 11.2mm thick; the weight is 9.24g. | 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
