Title
Early medieval mount; bird mount
Description
English: Early medieval mount; cast copper alloy mount in the shape of a three-dimensional bird, probably dating from the middle Saxon period. There is a suggestion that this may be the head of a bird-headed pin, although it is rather larger than would usually be expected for this function. The bird is in a seated position with its wings folded over its back, crossed over slightly at the end. The head is simple and round with a circular indent on either side for the eyes. These may have been settings for glass, enamel or similar. Length 40.1mm, width 11.3mm, thickness (base to back) 10.6mm, weight 16.14g
Depicted place (County of findspot) Lincolnshire
Date between 700 and 850
