Description: | An oddly finished fragment of copper-alloy, manufactured by casting and/or hammering to an irregular thickness of around 4mm, and broken on all sides. Although the entire object is clearly copper alloy, the inner surface has a smooth blackish metallic appearance. On one edge of this face, where the metal is deliberately bent over, there are traces of rust and iron corrosion. The fragment measures 24mm by 19mm. It is apparently a fragment from a mould for the manufacture of other cast metal items. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
