Description: | Tanged Ae stylus with an eraser gently flaring out from the shaft, the approximate end of the eraser indicated by three shallow incised transverse grooves ?scoured or cut into the metal. Slight surface corrosion and pitting, together with stress cracking where bent, make it difficult to trace some of the grooves, but esentially they are grouped into (an average) three grooves and used in more or less equally-spaced bundles along the entire length of the stylus shaft. Towards the point some of these grooves are very ephemeral indeed and are at a slight angle. The point is pitted obscuring any potential decorative treatment. The shaft is bent slightly 1/3 way along down from the eraser. Much of the Ae has a good patina. Total length 106.5mm, max shaft width 3.5mm, length of eraser approx.17mm, max width of eraser 10.5mm. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
