Description: | Probably an Iron Age copper-alloy sword hilt. This artefact may have broken off of the end of a dagger or a sword. The artefact is crescent shaped with two small crescents cut away either side of the handle of the dagger/sword. The break is evident at this point, leaving the terminal. The handle therefore does not survive. The break is well worn. The terminal is undecorated, other than its decorative shape. The surviving artefact is in a good condition with a polished dark lime-green patina. Both surfaces of the find are flat and the section is slightly chamfered. | Subjects: | Sword hilt | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
