Description: | A copper alloy possible Early Medieval stylus which is approximately 22mm long, 12mm wide and 6mm thick. The object appears to be rounded in section at one end, and then flattens and flares to form a wider triangular shaped flattened terminal at the other end. The thick end is an old break. It is possible that the object is the end of a stylus, but a published example on page 245 of West??s Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Material from Suffolk remains thinner at the eraser end for a greater length. Other possibilities are the foot of a plain brooch, or part of a girdle hanger. An Early Medieval date seems likely because the object was found in the same place as several Northumbrian stycas and a ninth century strap end.
This object was recorded from photographs and details kindly provided by the finder. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
