Title
474 Early medieval belt mount drawing.jpg
Description
English: Pendant

Early Medieval 975-1075
Length 43mm, width 24mm, thickness 4mm

The main section of the mountis a rough hexagonal with a diameter of approximately 24mm. Protruding from the centre of one of the sides is arm 20mm long that has an attachment loop at its terminal. The object is in Urnes style and comprises an animal head on the arm with its body incorporated with in the main hexagonal section of the pendant. This is surrounded by a number of smaller curving lines, probably the body or bodies of one or more snakes which curve in, out around the main animal. There is also a spiral on the shoulder of the main beast. Unfortunately most of the other detail is too worn and unidentifiable.

The artefact is copper alloy and is very worn, the original surface has corroded away leaving a dark brown pitted surface.

The use of the Anglo-Scandinavian Urnes style dates this object to the 11th century. There is a similar example in the British Museum collection (Wilson, 1964, 203, plate 141).
