Description: | Eight pieces of copper alloy casting waste. The material is split into two groups on the basis of material colour.
The first group consists of five irregular shaped pieces of copper alloy. Their surfaces are very rough, pitted and each piece has a mid-green patina. the larger piece has one concave surface which contains bright-orange coloured ceramic in places.
1. 31mm x 30mm; w:21.96g
2. 19mm x 11mm; w:2.94g
3. 18mm x 14mm; w:4.85g
4. 19mm x 14mm; w:5.11g
5. 10mm x 11mm; w:0.77g
The second group consists of three pieces of copper alloy that has much more of a 'tin-silver' colour to it, suggesting that they are of different alloys to the first group. One piece is flat, irregular and incomplete, another is plano-convex in shape, and the final piece appears to be a casting jet, having two incomplete stems at one end.
6. 18mm x 12mm; w.5.91g
7. 11mm x 9mm; w.3.63g
8. 18mm x 19mm; w.3.64g | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
