Description: | A cast copper alloy mount, possibly for a vessel. The object has two short curved arms, on one of which is depicted a zoomorphic face while the other arm may depict the head of another beast. Between these two elements is a broken loop, possibly for suspension. Behind the zoomorphic face is a small rivet hole which may have attached this object to a vessel. The reverse of the object is uneven, suggesting that this was not intended as a harness or box mount.The style of the decoration on this object is middle-late early medieval, from the 9th-11th centuries.
