Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount of probable Medieval date (c. AD 1200 - c. AD 1500). Length 12.4mm, width 10.0mm and 3.4mm thick. Weight 1.27g.
The zoomorphic mount is in the form of a beast's head with a projecting snout, perhaps that of a dog. It is convex at the front and concave at the rear, except for the snout which is flat at the rear. In plan, excluding the snout, it is sub-circular. At the front there is random grooved decoration, some of which appear to represent ears. At the centre is a circular perforation of 1.2 mm in diameter for a rivet or spike.
The object is corroded and the edges are abraded. It has a patchy dark brown patina. | 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: | 1200
