ESS-F768E2 Early Medieval harness fitting (cheekpiece) |
||
| Description |
English: Damaged and incomplete Early Medieval (11th century, Anglo-Scandinavian) cast copper alloy cheekpiece. The fragment is heavily worn. It is in the form of a curved Ringerike style animal head and neck in profile, possibly a dragon or sea monster. The base of the neck has a trefoil terminal formed of semi-circular knops, with a damaged and incomplete projecting arm to one side. The head is curved with an upturned snout with three small knops on the underside. The upper edge of the head has a crest which is sub-rectangular with rounded corners and two semi-circular knops on the upper edge. There is faint incised decoration visible on the upper surface, however it is now extremely worn with the exact design difficult to determine.
