The piece is corroded. It measures 29.2mm long, 22.5mm wide and 4.4mm thick. The weight is 5.61g. | Subjects: | Anglo-Scandinavian | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
