Description: | Copper-alloy casting sprue. The outline of the sprue cap, which held the molten metal, is clear; this has a roughly oval top, 23 x 20 mm, and sloping sides, and from its base spring two diverging pipes of metal. These are commonly found in late Bronze Age hoards, but can be of other dates as well. | Subjects: | sprue | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
