Description: | Fragment of a Roman knife handle made from jet. The Romans generally used jet for objects used by women, such as jewellery or spinning equipment, so it is unusual to find it used on an object that could be used by either sex. It also has an unusual zigzag decoration (late third or fourth century, Arbeia Roman Fort). | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | archaeology living in the North East home life roman | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
