ANGLO-SCANDINAVIAN VIKING BRONZE URNES OPENWORK MOUNT
11TH CENTURY A.D.
1 5/8 in. (17.75 grams, 41 mm).
11TH CENTURY A.D.
1 5/8 in. (17.75 grams, 41 mm).
Comprising a heater-shaped frame with integral openwork Urnes-style enmeshed beast. [No Reserve]
PROVENANCE:
Found Gloucestershire, UK.
FOOTNOTES:
The design is clearly based on Anglo-Scandinavian stirrup mount but the item is not substantial enough for this purpose and lacks both the attachment point at the apex and the rear ledge which characterise these pieces. Possibly a casket-mount or fitting, or a decorative item from riding harness.
