Title
Early Medieval girdle hanger
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy girdle hanger of early medieval date. The suspension loop is missing, the shank neck terminating in a clean break, probably old. Overall, the shape is similar to an inverted T with elaborate arms. The shaft is rectangular, expanding slightly towards the bottom. It has a flat rectangular cross-section. The terminal has concave sides and both arms have outward scrolling ends. The front surface is decorated with a border of small stamped cresents along the edges and a pair of incised lines running horizontally across the shaft 36 mm from the base. Ther are also four deeper circular holes, one at the each of the bottom corners and one at each end of the arms. The reverse surface seems plain. The object is 87 mm long, the terminal is 31 mm wide at the base, and the object weighs 24.85 g.
