Description: | A cast copper alloy zoomorphic terminal from the end of a casket or small chest handle.
The object consists of a sub-rectangular terminal with the features of an animals head- ears, mouth and snout- depicted with incised lines. The back of the head is flat with a short piece of copper alloy extending from the centre of it. This is circular in section and terminated by a worn break. This copper alloy extension would have formed the beginnings of the handle proper.
There is a copper alloy rivet in situ opposite this element of the object, in the snout of the animal.
The object is worn with a mid grey patina. It is medieval in date, circa 14th - 15th century. | 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
