Description: | Copper alloy decorative shield-shaped object of unknown type. The object is formed by a sheet of copper alloy folded to form a hinge and two shield-shaped sheets. The sheet is cut away at the hinge to form seven loops, one of which is now missing, through which the surviving copper alloy bar passes. The remains of one of the alternate loops, from the part of the object to which this object was attached, survives between the second and third loop from one side of the object. The upper surface of both sheets is decorated with both horizontal and vertical lines of dot and circle motifs, now heavily worn. One of the sheets is badly damaged on one side. The two sheets are joined together by the decorated strip which is fixed longitudinally in the centre of each sheet, where it is flat and rectangular in section, and which then forms a loop at the bottom of the object, where it is D-shaped in section. The object may form the lid of a larger item, however at this time no parallels have been found.
L. 53.85mm. W. 39.55mm. Th. 2.85mm (inc. applied strip). 0.85mm (not inc. applied strip). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
