Description: | Small fragment of an object; the fragment is too small to readily recognise what item it is part of but it is recorded in the hope that a parallel will be found in future. The fragment has a flat base with a semicircular end and straight sides; the other end is broken from an old break. From this base the piece thins, from 7.3mm to 2.8mm, and rises, roughly triangular in side view, with various curved mouldings. It is broken to one side and the top but the irregularity of the break suggests the larger piece had areas of open work. It is hard to date precisely but the regularity and delicacy of the moulding suggests a Roman or later date.
It is 11.7mm high, 9.5mm wide and 7.3mm thick; it weighs 1.75 grams. It is dark red with areas of green corrosion. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
