Description: | Copper alloy stud incorporated into a lead weight. Lozenge shaped stud with a large rectangular attachment spike at the back. The front is decorated with applied yellow enamel (set in linear recesses and a central lozenge shaped recess) and some empty linear recesses which may have contained red enamel. The recesses and enamelling forms an interlaced geometric maze-like pattern. The stud is Irish in origin. It has been encased in lead to form a weight of a type used by Viking traders. Much of the lead has been removed at some point so that only traces remain, suggesting yet further re-use at a later date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hayward Trevarthen, Ciorstaidh - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
