Description: | A single bow and part of the shank of a decorated copper-alloy scissor? Handle, the bow is oval in plan suggesting that this is the 'top' handle. The shank is quite finely engraved in a series of sub-rectangular 'cells' which contain both geometric and foliate design. The scissor appears to have broken off at the point where the two handles originally crossed, there are signs of iron accretion at this point suggesting that the blades may have been made of iron. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Harte, Rhiannon - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
