Description: | The object is a length of cast copper alloy. The central portion is circular in section. The terminals form a sub sqaure section.
The central portion of the object is decorated with low-relief rings, forming a symmetrical pattern.
Each terminal has a slot cross the width of the terminal forming a 'n' shape. This slot is filled with iron corrosion. There is now evidence that the iron was originally a hinge as there are no holes in the copper alloy to support an axis bar.
The surface ofthe object is slightly pitted, but has a blue/green patina.
The colour of the patina may suggest a Roman date, but this is not certain. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
