Description: | These three ingots found with the bronze items of the late Bronze Age Hoard suggest that the hoard was left by a metal worker. The copper ingots were the starting point for a bronzesmith. They would be broken up, melted and mixed with lead. This molten alloy was then poured into a mould and cooled. | License: | http://www.thebowesmuseum.org.uk/terms/ | Rights holder: | The Bowes Museum | Subjects: | 1434 | Source: | Bowes-OAI | Identifier: | http://www.thebowesmuseum.org.uk/collect... | Go to resource |
