Description: | A fragment of cast copper-alloy metal working debris. This fragment consists of an oval shaped casting cap, measuring 22mm by 13mm in size. Projecting from one edge of this there is a flat triangular shaped protrusion, measuring 13mm in length and 17mm in width. One face of this projection has longitudinal bevelled edges. It is difficult to say what this fragment was originally meant to be and therefore what kind of metal working was being done. It could perhaps be the foot of an early Anglo Saxon small long brooch, it is the correct and size and shape to be so, however, the presence of bevels is unusual on such a brooch. The date of this metal working debris therefore remains elusive. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
