11th-12th century AD. A swivel with two rings, each loop formed as a pair of opposed zoomorphic heads clutching the swivel-half in its jaws; the loops segmented with transverse banding, extending on to the swivel halves; swivel formed as two hemispherical sections, one with a pin, the other pierced; attachment tag to each loop, pierced for riveting on to the leather straps. Hammond, B. British Artefacts Volume 3 - Late Saxon, Late Viking & Norman, p.100, item 1.13-p. 20 grams, 64mm (2 1/2"). From an old English collection. The swivel was probably developed to prevent tangling in the leashes of hunting dogs. Very fine condition.
