Description: | A copper alloy object with dark-green, glossy patina (possibly Iron Age or Medieval). It is a rounded triangular shape, constructed from a thick lozengiform sheet (thickness: 2.62mm) of copper alloy folded along the midline. There are two copper alloy rivets arranged in-line with each other 16.77mm apart; the rivets fasten the two halves of the sheet together. Along the fold is a circular perforation (diameter: 5.80mm). Around the edge of the perforation the metal is rough suggesting a break. Sandwiched between the two sides there is a fragment of copper alloy sheet. One surface appears to have received a blow that pressed the two sides together and cracked the upper surface. Dimensions: length: 45.20mm; width: 47.10mm; thickness: 13.09mm; weight: 106.47g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Sumnall, Kate - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
