Description: | Cast copper alloy, small sub-rectangular hilt band. The two long sides are slightly convex. There is a slot through the object from the top to the bottom. On the upper surface the aperture is small and sub-rectangular (7.3 x 3mm). At one end of this aperture, the slot continues through the object, until at approximately halfway through it angles sharply towards the outside, short edge so that the slot makes a sub-rectangular cut in this edge from approximately two thirds of the way down. The slot becomes slightly wider at this end. At the other end of the aperture, the slot is angled toward the short outer edge so that it meets this edge at the bottom of the object. The slot becomes slightly narrower at this end. The slot therefore creates a sub-triangular aperture on the lower surface. Patchy, dull red-brown/mid-green patina. Similar to an example in Cowgill et al 1987. | Subjects: | Hilt Band | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
