Description: | Cast copper alloy spherical object. The object has a circular hole on one side and opposite it a rough, irregular opening, probably mis-cast. It appears to be hollow and filled with mud. A slight projection between the two holes may be the stub of a suspension loop or another mis-cast area. It is 27.8mm in diameter and weighs 55.98 grams.
It's purpose is unclear and it could not be paralleled in the usual sources. Cast copper alloy spherical weights are known from the medieval period but these have raised decoration and more substantial suspension loops. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
