There are two incurved scallops on the top edge, with a point in the centre, and the front face is decorated along all three edges with a row of hand-punched dots. Weight 0.21g. Height 10mm. Width 9mm.

The nose, eyse and eyebrows are clear, with flowing hair and a long wavy pointed beard. Above the eyebrows are either horns or ears or a mane.

The fragment consists of decorated silver plate attached to a piece of corroded iron. The silver plate has the form of a ninth century strap end but the presence of the iron points to it having had some other use. The incised decoration is in the ninth/early tenth century ‘Trewhiddle’ style but too little survives to allow a confident identification of the motifs used. These consist of a triangular panel filled with oblique lines, a feature difficult to parallel. Through this panel are two leaf tendrils. To the left of the panel is a crescent panel containing further leaves…

The decoration recalls 19th century chasing with flowers and foliage, but it may not be European."

An octofoil silver mount or strap fitting. It is 12.3mm in diameter and domed in section, with a flattened apex and a round 2.5mm diameter central perforation. There are engraved lines radiating from the centre which delineate the edges of eight petals, the ends of which are curved to give a scalloped edge to the mount. The petals are somewhat irregular - the widest is 4.7mm and the narrowest is 2.7mm. There are two soldered-on round sectioned rivets at the rear, the ends of which have been hammered and splayed. Probably late medieval in date. It is similar in form to SWYOR-8AAB23 and…

Silver late Post-medieval openwork mount cast in low relief in the form of four five petalled rosettes connected by tendrils. The centre of each rosette has a linear groove, and each tendril has a short projection on the outer edge probably representing a thorn or leaf. The petals have been defined and filed down using a round file so that there is no pattern remaining from the mould. On the reverse are two circular-sectioned integral attachment lugs. The impression of the cuttlefish shell used to cast the mount is clearly visible on the reverse of the mount but it appears that two di…

Silver mount. The tiny stamped and naturalistically rendered two-dimensional image of a game bird standing with head erect; the texture of feathers is faithfully rendered on its wings and long tail, and a small bifid comb projects from the back of the head. The subject is perhaps a pheasant. The object has become detached from its setting, perhaps a wooden vessel. The interest in sporting pursuits which this object hints at is complemented by the frequent reporting from the vicinity of lead shot taken to be for fowling pieces. The thickness of this mount is similar to that of many ite…
