Description: | An unidentified cast copper alloy object. It is square in plan, with rounded corners. It has a flat undecorated reverse. The upper face is flat except for a low-relief inscription; ??I I O / D??. The surface of the object is abraded and is mainly covered with red copper corrosion, however there are traces of a heavy dark green patina. It measures 27.39mm long, 27.77mm wide, 2.01mm thick, and weighs 8.09g.
The function of the object is unknown. The development of the patina may suggest a Medieval date, but red copper corrosion is more commonly found on Post Medieval objects. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
