Description: | A copper alloy object, possibly a pendant, of unknown date. The object is fabricated from sheet copper alloy. In plan, the object takes the form of an expanding spiral with pointed terminals separated by a gap, and with a central cavity. There is also a punched circular perforation in the object, opposite the gap between the terminals. The internal edge of the object is angled/chamfered, which does not appear to be the case on the external edge, although this has suffered some loss of material. A slight fold runs across the curved arms such that there is an angle of approximately 20-40 degrees between the upper and lower portions of the object. The diameter of the object is 21.1mm-24.1mm. The sheet copper alloy has a thickness of 1.1mm, and the object has a mass of 1.82g. It has a varied green surface.
A simple sheet copper alloy pendant is illustrated as object 1607 in: ??Dress Accessories 1150-1450 (Egan and Pritchard, 2002, figure 212 and p.324) although this is rhomboid in plan. Without further context or parallels, dating has not been suggested for this object which may be a pendant. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
