Description: | A cast copper-alloy object - probably a pendant or ear-ring - of probable post-medieval to modern date.
The object consists of a hollow sphere which has been cast in one piece. At the top is a domed hanger with a horizontal void, through which a small copper-alloy wire loop has been threaded. At the bottom is a small circular hole. The surface of the sphere has cast decoration, with a central band of foliate scrollwork bordered on either side by a panel of vertical incisions. A further panel surrounds the hanger and a flower-head or sun-burst pattern is located at the bottom. The recessed areas of the pattern are picked out in gilding.
The object measures 12mm in diameter, 16.6mm high and weighs 3.17g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
