Description: | Bronze age copper alloy casting gate or sprue, 23mm long, 19mm wide and 16mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a greenish/brown patina and weighs 17.25 grams. The object consists of a sub-oval shaped base which tapers inwards gently. Above this the object divides into two sub-circular shafts, 6mm in diameter, which emerge at a 45o angle. The object represents the waste metal that would have 'plugged' the pouring funnel of a mould and would have been removed from a finished object. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
