Description: | A medieval copper alloy terminal, c. 1350-1450. This terminal is in the form of an animal?s head, probably a dog. The terminal is hollow and of a rectangular section with a perforation through the ?muzzle? and broken attachment loops at the ?neck? end. The head has prominent nose, eyes and ears. One possibility is that this is part of a strap-end from a book fastener (it seems too substantial to have been worn as part of a belt). The hinge (represented by the broken attachment loops) would have been connected to a double-sided plate to which a leather strap was riveted. The terminal is very worn. It measures 39mm long, 16mm wide and is 8mm thick. | 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: | 1350
