Description: | A copper-alloy toggle, 27mm in lenght. Each end is circular, and 13mm in diameter, and is decorated around the circumference with two grooves, 3mm apart. Each end then narrows to a waist, of 6mm in width, and inbetween is a swollen middle, measuring 11mm in diameter, with an integral loop. The side of the swollen middle inside the loop is hollowed out to form a large circular depression, in the centre of the base of this depression there is a small circular hole. There is some corrosion, especially at the ends of the toggle. This toggle is similar to a Late Lron Age La Tene type toggle found at Wrotham, Kent, ( DCMS 2002, p75, Fig.50) although this parallel does not have a circular hole in the base of the depression below the loop. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
