Description: | Late Bronze Age - Roman tiny, and now bent, copper alloy tanged chisel or possibly Roman stylus, 49.81mm in bent length and weighing 4.51g. It would originally have been c.51mm long.
The tanged (or writing end if stylus), narrower end is 2.18mm wide and 1.19mm thick. This thickens and widens to 7.13mm wide and 3.51mm thick, just above the cutting edge (or possible rubbing-out edge if stylus). It continues to widen but also narrows to this edge over c.7mm, which is 8.73mm wide and 1.13mm thick. The cutting/ rubbing-out edge is damaged (oldish) but would not have been longer/ wider. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
