Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy mount in the form of a 3 dimensional Ketos or other kind of sea-serpent. The serpent is shown lying on its belly with a coiled and tapering long tail which forms a complete loop above. The tip of the tail is missing, however compared to other similar examples (such as LANCUM-F79885), it is likely to have formed a solid club-like terminal located just above the head. The face of the serpent has large moulded lips with an upturned snout, and deep set eyes above. The surface of the serpent is covered with moulded scales. There is a small hole in the centre of the mount on the underneath, which is filled with iron corrosion. | 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: | 1600
