Description: | An unidentified and incomplete object of sheet copper alloy. It comprises a flat fragment of sheet copper alloy that tapers at one end towards a point. At the pointed end is an integral globular copper alloy terminal that measures 5.22mm in diameter. The object has numerous old breaks at the opposite end to the terminal, and is folded in places due to damage in the ground making identification of its original form extremely problematic. It measures 32.82mm in length, 24.36mm in width, 0.72mm in thickness, and weighs 2.31g.
The exact function and date of thei object remain uncertain. Based on its shape it could conceivably be a fragment from a chape or pendant of some kind. Equally, it might have acted as a decoratve mount. In terms of date, the shape of the object is suggestive of the Medieval to Post-Medieval periods. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
