Object Type: Viking-style zoomorphic strap mount or pendant Material: Cast bronze or copper alloy (with aged patina) Technique: Cast in relief, hand-finished Period Style (attributed): Viking Age style (c. 8th–11th century inspiration) A cast bronze mount of shield-shaped form featuring a central stylized mask or guardian face rendered in high relief. The visage is flanked symmetrically by two serpent or dragon heads emerging along the sides, their forms integrated into the border of the piece. The upper section shows a forked or horn-like suspension element, reinforcing the creaturely and protective character of the design. The lower edge tapers to a point, enhancing the amuletic, talismanic appearance. The reverse displays two integral attachment loops, indicating it was intended to be secured to a leather strap, belt, harness, or garment. Surface corrosion and patination suggest prolonged oxidation consistent with bronze alloy objects
