Description: | The item is a 'T' shape in plan. The horizontal bar is sub-rectangular in cross-section lengthways, with rounded corners. The upper face of the horizontal bar is covered with iron. The vertical bar is sub-oval in cross-section, with a slight central vertical ridge on the front face. The base of the vertical bar is a socket with iron protruding slightly. The iron appears to be broken/corroded, but not recently broken. The item suggests the core is iron within a copper alloy casing. The surface of the copper alloy is slightly pitted, otherwise it has a dark green patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
