Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object, measuring 34.1mm in length and 5.9mm in width. Consisting of a triangular cross-sectioned solid shaft with one terminal curving to form an incomplete possible hook. The complete terminal has a transverse groove cut across its end. The front face of this object is decorated at this terminal with what may be a zoomorphic design. Consisting of two opposing pairs of transverse mouldings. Beyond these running down the length of the object there is a central longitudinal groove with diagonal grooves to either side of this. This decoration stops just before the bend of the incomplete terminal, which flares slightly before flattening and beginning to taper. The function of this object is unknown as is its date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
