Title
Baltic Copper Alloy Comb Pendant of Medieval Date: Obverse
Description
English: An unusual medieval cast copper alloy comb pendant of Eastern Scandinavian or Baltic origin. The comb measures 47mm long, 35mm wide, and 3mm thick, and has a tooth gauge of approximately 4 teeth per cm. It has a deep green, mottled patina. The comb is decorated with Ringerike-style zoomorphic ornament, the primary theme being a pair of inturning zoomorphic heads, with the animals' necks represented using openwork casting. The use of this comb as a pendant is confirmed by the presence of a perforation for suspension at the top centre of the comb, through which is threaded the remains of a large copper alloy suspension ring, or perhaps the basal loop in a chain.
