Description: | A cast copper alloy fragment of an 11th century Anglo-Scandinavian cheek piece, now extremely worn. It consists of a projecting arm and is broken across a circlar perforation (for attachment). It measures 43.11x19.69mm (at its widest part) x4.66mm in max.thickness and weighs 9.6g.The object has been formed from one solid piece of copper alloy, with a long tapering arm and lobed end 7.61mm in width. The circular perforation (less than half the edge of which remains) is c.8mm in diameter. To one side are two worn projections. All decoration is now worn and lost but would originally have been zoomorphic in style, incorporating the lobes and projections.Other such examples can be found in Anglo-Scandinavian, FRG Datasheet 39 and on the data base; KENT-59B810 and SUSS-C989B3.
