Description: | Cast Cu alloy probable mount of Celtic dragonesque design.
In its present form it is S-shaped but it would originally have been of triscale design. It appears to be a mount with three symmetrical arms (all three with dragon heads at the end) only one of which is remaining.
The eye of the head which remains has now filled in with corrosion but it is probable that it was hollow. The end of one arm has broken off, leaving an open semi-circle which would have been the eye of that head. The third arm is missing alomst completely.
It is more likely to be a mount than a brooch due to the lack of enamelling and also the lack of any evidence of a pin or catchplate. | 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: | 75
