Description: | Unidentified object made from copper alloy. It appears to be a cast strip, flaring from 16 mm wide close to one end to 26 mm wide at the other, and slightly curved along its long axis. The convex face has bevelled edges and is decorated. There are two slightly oblique, slightly converging transverse grooves near the wider end, and this end has edge nicks; perhaps three pairs of nicks, or perhaps a continuous row of nicks of varying depths and wear. The other end also has two transverse grooves, this time very worn, and the edge is too worn to tell if it was originally nicked or not. One of the long edges is completely straight, but the other turns a slight angle near to the narrow end so that it flares a little to 17 mm wide. The reverse has an even grey coating which may be the remains of a white-metal coating which has worn off the front, or just possibly may be the remains of solder. Unknown date and function. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
