Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy artefact of probable medieval date. The artefact consists of a solid curved element from which protrudes a hollow sub-oval sectioned element at ninety degrees. The curved section has a raised ridge on the outer face. It terminates in what might be construed as a zoomorphic head with nostrils on the outer face at an eye on each side. On the outer edge at the opposite end of the curved element is a step. The artefact has been broken across the hollow element just after the junction. The object is pitted and has traces of green copper corrosion. Due to the heavy wear suffered by this object and its fragmentary nature, a definitive identification is difficult to achieve. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
