Description: | The item is not made of a single casting or a sheeting of copper alloy. Instead the item has a base with upturned edges. Covering the base is a sheet of copper alloy which is riveted in place by three rivets. The portion of the item which is produced in this way is a sub-triangular shape. The horizontal base has curved corners. The apex of the item is also curved. The upper face is bordered by a high-relief rectangular ridge. On the reverse of this portion are two of the rivets protruding. The second portion of the item is in the centre of the lower horizontal edge. A row of three circles are parallel to the lower horizontal edge. The central circle is larger than the other two and decorated with high relief concentric ridges. The other two circles are plain. On the reverse of one of the smaller circles there is a rectangular sectioned protrusion, possibly a mounting point. On the reverse of the central circle there is a central protrusion, but it is unclear whether this is a mounting point or not due to its short length. On the upper surface of the item are iron traces. | 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: | 1066 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Angie Bolton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
