Description: | Copper alloy object 30mm long consisting of a very slightly tapered cylindrical casting 8.9mm in diameter and 16mm long, which broadens suddenly into a rounded portion 12mm in diameter and 8.7mm in length which is grooved around the circumference creating a ring or moulding 1.2mm in thickness on the inner edge. The outer end of this thicker part is rounded, with a central rod proceeding from it and immediately curving, thickness 4.8mm and surviving length 6.6mm, which is broken off. At the opposite end the cylindrical form is rounded and has a central circular scar 4mm in diameter as if left by a similar rod or a casting scar. The overall form of the object is like a very regular elongated acorn in its cup. It has a sandy-green patina. Although entered as Roman, there is a possibility that this is a post-mediaeval acorn terminal. | Subjects: | acorn-shaped terminal | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
