Description: | Copper-alloy toggle. Each end is circular, 13 to 14 mm in diameter, and is decorated around the circumference with a groove. Each end then narrows to a waist, and in between is a swollen middle with an integral loop. The side of the swollen middle inside the loop is hollowed out to form a large oval depression; this is slightly uneven and looks as if it may have been slightly mis-cast, but its edges have filemarks showing that it was finished (or even deliberately made) after casting. There is a little orange corrosion, presumably from some nearby iron. Length 26 mm. Late Iron Age. | 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: | -100
