Description: | Medieval copper alloy unidentified object, possibly incomplete. It measures 90.2mm in length and weighs 2.97g. It is 0.7mm thick.
The unidentified object is in the form of a flattened sheet copper alloy strip. It is slightly wider at one end (11.6mm) where it has two possibly worn through large rivet holes, now open to the sides. Between, at the centre, is a 5.7x3.4x1mm projection, with an apparantly complete end.
Directly below this wider end, the object is 9.6mm wide. This narrows to 5.5mm at the oppiste end. Some of the edge though is damaged and missing.
Occupying the length on one face of the object only is decoration in the form of two longitudinal grooves flaking each long edge. Between edge and groove is a further line of tiny circular punches, and between the grooves a zig-zag lines of the same punches.
Possibly a casket or book fitting? | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
