Description: | The object is a sub-square shape in plan, however the upper left corner is stretched and protrudes upwards to a blunt point. The side edges are slightly convex, and towards the lower edge the sides have a concave '> <' shape, forming a collar on this edge.
The upper protrusion from the corner is damaged and is missing some patina. This protrusion is semi-circular in section.
The upper surface of the object is irregularly domed, however at the apex there is a flattened platform instead. On the right-hand side face there is some decoration. There are two circular cells, which maybe conical in prfile. These cells form almost a horizontal line and have traces of red enamel within them.
Between the circular cells and below there is very small circular 'pecked' marks form a sub-triangular patch. Combined with teh cells this side face could be representing an animals nose.
The reverse of the object is flat towards the side and upper edges. The width of these edges vary. The rest of the surface is hollow, including the lower edge. The interior of this hollow has traces of iron remaining.
The patina on the object is well-developed with a brown/green colour. | Subjects: | Terminal | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
