Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy tumbrel of the late Medieval or early post-Medieval period.
The stem and base of one arm remain. The stem is hollow, but filled with copper corrosion and soil. One end has a flat tap, incomplete, but with enough remaining to indicate a circular perforation for suspension. Inside this tab is the base of the incomplete balance arm. The stem is widest at this end and tapers slightly toward the opposite end. There is a double collar on the shaft of the stem, just further in from where the balance arm is fixed to the stem. The opposite end has a worn but decorated terminal. The terminal may have been an animal's head, but it is too worn now to be certain.
The arm is rectangular in section, and passes through the base of the stem, fixed by a pivot. The complete end of the arm has a T-shaped crossbar. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
