Description: | The object is a terminal to something. The object in plan is an elongated sub-triangular shape. However, moulded decoration influences the shape of the sides. The tip of the object is rounded and is oval shaped in cross-section. The upper surface of the object has the most moulded decoration, and just below the tip the decoration appears to form a zoomorphic head with 'creases' forming the eyes. The neck narrows slightly, expands and narrows again before the body of the object. The body of the object is more sub-trapezoidal shape in plan, forming the base of the ovaeral triangular shape. This portion is decoration with two obliquely angled linear grooves, which meet a horizontal linear groove. The lower terminal forms an unenven 'n' shape, which maybe a broken edge, but this is not clear. The reverse of the object has a horizontal prominent ridge where the trapezoidal body of the object starts. The object is covered with a red copper corrosion. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
