Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Middle Saxon gilt copper alloy rectangular sword-belt mount. The scalloped sides, the ends and especially the corners are worn, and there are no extant fixing holes. A centrally placed transverse row of four silver rivets with convex heads and copper alloy washers divides two areas of deep "chip carved" Tassilo style zoomorphic ornament.

Nr. 40.2, 40.6 and 42.1), and certainly of Continental manufacture. Late 8th - early 9t…
