Description: | Probably a medieval cast copper alloy stylus. The rectangular sectioned shaft now has a bend at a ninety degree angle at one end and curves to form a loop at the other. Both these bends are likely to be damage as the stylus would originally have been straight. At one end the shaft flattens and expands to a scraper with a curved and flattened end. At the opposite end is a moulded zoomorphic animal head in a typical Romanesque style. The animal resembles a dog or wolf and has a ridged brow, an upturned nose with a slightly open mouth. The surviving length is 64.5mm, the maximum width of the shaft is 4.5mm, the maximum width of the scraper is 10.0mm and the weight is 9.50g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
