Description: | Unidentified object made from copper alloy. It is basically T-shaped; the horizontal bar of the T is roughly rectangular (23 x 8 mm), thin and flat, with a broken rivet hole at each end. To one side of the middle of one of the long sides (which is slightly outcurved) is a projecting bar, trapezoidal in cross-section, which runs down to join a similar bar. The junction is circular in cross-section, 5.5 mm in diameter, and is decorated with two circumferential grooves above a slightly expanded rounded end. The top of the second bar appears to be broken, so the object could originally have been symmetrical and fixed onto something by the rivets. A very curious object; date and function unknown. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
