Description: | Copper-alloy hook, large and therefore probably from harness. It has an attachment plate 33.5 mm long, which is sub-rectangular, 16 mm wide at the top and 18.5 mm at the bottom, with four rivet holes and traces of gilding. Two of the rivet holes (diagonally opposite each other) are blocked with iron corrosion. In the lower edge are two U-shaped cut-outs which peter out into short grooves. The plate has a central longitudinal ridge which increases in height and width from the top to the bottom; it emerges from the bottom edge and then curves out and under to form the hook. It is now bent slightly out of shape, and the tip is broken off (old and worn break). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1200
