Description: | A cast copper-alloy artefact of uncertain function and date. The object terminates in a pointed biconical knop truncated at its base. This sits on a rectangular base and atop a shaft of rectangular cross-section. Down the length of the shaft are four double collars, that is, with a groove between two ridges. Down each side of the shaft is a crudely scored longitudinal line which seems decorative as opposed to functional (for mounting, for example). The end opposite the knop seems to bear little evidence of being mounted and, as such, it is not known whether this object is complete. This enigmatic artefact has been difficult to parallel and a wide date range is currently offered for it in the hope that it can be revised. The object is now dark grey in colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
