Description: | One half of a copper alloy medieval 'ball-in-socket' type swivel from a leash, comprising a loop with transversely set domed element with projection or 'ball' on which the socket on the missing other half would have rotated. The frame is semi-circular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section. Both terminals of the frame are in the form of a faceted animal head biting down onto the flat base. The presence of these animal heads indicate a 12th-century date.
