Description: | Early Medieval cast copper alloy object, a terminal, probably 10th-11th century, Anglo-Scandinavian. Roughly rectangular in plan and flat sectioned, tapering (in section) slightly towards the top. Symmetrical, with an outward-facing animal head on either side, a rounded knop at the top, three circular piercings (one just below the knop and the other two beneath the chins of the animal heads), and a plain collar below. The object is then recessed and broken across a rectangular iron projection (length 4.4mm, width 3.4mm). Probably a knife terminal, with the iron projection being a tang. Length 18.48mm, width 19.02mm, thickness 5.22mm, weight 8.01g. | 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: | 900
