Description: | Small, worn cast copper-alloy nail or upholstery tack. The head is roughly circular, 13.0mm in diameter. The slightly off-centre shaft is 5.3mm by 4.8mm rectangular in cross-section at the top and tapers to a point. It is now curved. On the upper face of the artefact is a raised 'V' symbol. Copper-alloy nails and upholstery tacks are difficult to date (the main two periods of use being Roman and late post-medieval). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
