Title
Bird mount or strap end
Description
English: Copper-alloy cast bird-shaped strap end dating to the Medieval period. The bird has a semi-circular fan-shaped tail which narrows where it is attached to the body; this is sub-rectangular in shape and has a shallow triangular section. The back of the bird is decorated with lots of intersecting incised lines, indicating feathers on the wings. The head of the bird protrudes at a 90 degree angle from the relatively flat body. The reverse of the mount or strap end is flat although there is a slight stepped groove approximately 1cm from the head end, this possibly indicates where another plate may have been attached to the mount. Both at the tail and about a third of the way down the body from the head end there is a single copper alloy rivet. These would have been used for attachment. The object weighs 12.4g and measures 50.3mm in length, 14.3mm in width and 12.9mm in thickness.
