Description: | The main 'body' of the object is a five-sided plate which is sub-lozenge shaped in plan. The fifth side of the object body is horizontal rather than pointed. There are two large rivet holes, positioned opposite to and level with each other in each corner where each of the longer sides join the two shorter sides (about 3/5 of the way along the object). There are the remains of corroded iron in one of them
An incised line runs parallel to each of the two shorter sides and the two longer sides. These lines are set slightly in from the edge of the sides.
The other end of the plate from the flat fifth side extends into three sub-rectangular arms. The central 'arm' extends out at 90 degrees to each of the other two 'arms', which lie nearly horizontally on top of the main body, nearly parallel to the flat fifth side.
The whole plate curves slightly, so that the edges of the main body and the two near-horizontal 'arms' push backwards. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Elwes, Marina | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
