Description: | The item is an 'hour-glass' shape in profile, i.e. two conical shapes which are joined at the terminals. One conical is wider in diameter than the second. The widest conical has a concave base with a high-relief annulet in the centre, therefore the cross-section of this surface is shaped like a curved 'W' shape. The base of the smaller conical has a thick coating or ?iron (note it is not magnetic). Patches of this substance has a shiny dark brown surface. The surface of the conicals has traces of silvering/tinning. The patina of the item is mid green colour. | 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: | 43
