Title
Figurine
Description
English: Copper alloy zoomorphic figurine, probably a weight in the form of a horse, now damaged and incomplete, represented by the front of the animal (with a surviving length of 32.5mm, a maximum surviving height of 22.1mm and a weight of 20.4g). The legs of the horse survive as short stubs and are projecting forward, suggesting the horse may have been depicted running. The figurine has a maximum width across the shoulders of 10.0mm. The mane is evident along the neck of the horse and the recessed eyes are discernible but all other surface detail has been lost.

The find can be closely paralleled with a more complete bronze horse figurine from Ludgvan in Cornwall (CORN-A6D554), interpreted as a probable Scandinavian weight of 14th century date. They appear to be the first found outside Scandinavia.
