Description |
English: An incomplete copper-alloy harness link. Only one arm, its terminal and the decorative central element of this object survives; the other arm is missing due to an old break, now worn. The surviving length is 47mm and the width across the widest point - the central decorative element - is 44mm. The complete arm measures 32mm in length and 7.4mm in width; it has a rounded front face and a flat back face. The arm ends in a lozenge-shaped terminal, 23mm by 25mm in size, with a large oval perforation through it (11mm by 12mm). There are projecting integral knobs on three corners of the lozenge. The central decorative element is unusual; instead of consisting of a single circular boss it has a projecting central circular boss with two opposing arms projecting above and below this, one arm is in the shape of a fleur-de-lis and has decorative border grooves on its front face. The other smaller arm is bilobed with central decorative longitudinal grooves. This central decorative element measures 44mm by 31.5mm in size. This object is Anglo-Scandinavian in style and dates to the 11th century. There is one Suffolk parallel from Flowton, see SF-E7BA78, which also has an expanded central decorative element in the shape of a fleur-de-lis and is also incomplete with one arm and terminal missing. No published parallel could be found with such a large and elaborate central decorative panel. Cited by Williams (2007, 4) |
