Description: | Post Medieval? copper alloy mount, 60mm long, 27mm wide and 6mm thick. The mount is in fair condition with a reddish/green patina and weighs 10.01 grams. The mount is made up of three thin shafts which are joined together at the base and are arranged in the form of two snakes entwined around each other and the central shaft. The snakes become wider apart as they near the top of the object forming a triangular shape. Their heads face each other straight on at the top of teh object and appear to be snarling at each other. The snakes have very distinct faces with protruding snouts and beady eyes, which resemble those on Tudor Snake belts. Only one side of the object is decorated, this consists of shallow circular hollows randomly applied all over the snakes and suggests it was intended to sit in front of something. | 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: | 1500
