Description: | This is a barbed point made apparently of copper alloy of a dark blackish colour. It has a thickened, square and slightly bulbous section 16.5mm long and 5mmx4mm in thickness, decorated on three of those sides with notched markings resembling IIIXII. From the end of this part the point proceeds. It is also squared in section, being 2.5mm in breath by 3mm in thickness, tapering to 2mm at the tip, where it forms a sharp returning angle, making a barb 6mm long from the tip. At the opposite end of the thickened and notched section there is a break. The complete object was symmetrical with a barb at either end. | Subjects: | Textile-manufacturing | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plunkett, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
