Description: | A 7th - 12th Century styli, made of copper-alloy. This styli is incomplete, all that remains is the shaft and the eraser. The point has broken off. The break is well worn. An Early Medieval date has been assigned to this piece because it only has restrained decoration on the shaft, in the form of two transverse mouldings which are wrapped around the shaft just before the shaft turns into the eraser. The styli survives to a length of 57.1mm and weighs 2.4g. The flat eraser edge measures 10.5mm in width (at the widest point of the terminal). The slender shaft tapers to a point (which has broken off) but the terminal on this end measures 3.3mm in diameter.
