Description: | Solid cylinder of copper alloy, 5 mm in diameter at the break and tapering to 3.5 mm minimum. At the narrow end is an acorn-shaped terminal, with the cup decorated with oblique grooves and a tall narrow knop on the end of the kernel. There is a matt brown patina with patches of pale green. It is similar to some large hollow ?lace-tags of possible early post-medieval date, which are made of rolled sheet with another piece of sheet forming the acorn's cup. The function and date of this object, however, are unknown; it may not be very old. | 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 |
