Description: | Cast copper alloy object with a broken, hooked terminal. The object is damaged, but some original surface survives, and this shows damage only at the two terminal ends of the item. The hooked terminal is bevelled and sub-circular in section; it is uncertain how far this would have curved over. This is cast integrally with the rectangular-sectioned body of the object. The body is decorated with carved grooves and nicks; it is broken 7mm below the base of the hook. Suggested identifications for this object include an incomplete, small snaffle bit, a manicure item, or a buckle pin. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Echtenacher, Beth - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
