Title |
Early Medieval Mount Book Fitting (possibly) (rear) |
||
Description |
English: Probable book or casket mount. An incomplete openwork rectangular plate with zoomorphic design. On three sides is a framing band with a rounded lobe halfway along the longest side. This has an attachment hole containing the remains of an iron fixing. Inside the frame is an openwork design of two beasts with three-clawed feet and long tails. They are arranged in reflection of each other, each one raising a front paw and with its tail raised over its back. They both have a projection from their backs joining their tails, possibly representing wings? However, one has its head facing forwards and holds a projection from the frame in its mouth. The other has its head turned over its back and has both tails in its mouth. Incised lines highlight details such as the eyes and claws. Each has a hip spiral. The back is flat and undecorated. The whole may have been larger, either with the design repeated or extended or simply joining to the fourth side of the frame. Similar designs can be seen on Scandinavian style stirrup- strap mounts. |
