Description: | A cast copper alloy object, possibly part of a chape or similar object.
The object is formed from a crimped sheet of copper alloy. The sheet is roughly triangular in shape (with the tip cut off). The middle section of the plate, running lengthways is raised, whilst the edges have been crimped and rolled so that they are on a lower level. Three crudely made rivet holes have been punched through the plate on either edge and the lower two holes still contain the copper alloy rivets. On the right hand side of the plate a further fourth rivet has been placed into the plate (below the top one) perhaps as a repair. There is a hole in the top of the plate, possibly caused by plough damage or a contemporary incident.
The surface of the metal is extremely smooth and shiny and it is a mid jade-green colour.
The reverse is undecorated and appears matt in comparison to the front surface. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
