Description: | Socket for skimmer handle. The item consists of three sheets of copper alloy. The back sheet is sub-triangular in plan with a rounded lower corner. The edges to this sheet are worn and abraded. Along each long edge there are three copper alloy rivets which have been hammered to become flat. The hammered rivets are not flush with the surface. The central sheet of copper alloy is sub-trapezoidal shape and is shorter in length than the first sheet mentioned. This central sheet protrudes from the upper edge of the first sheet by c.22 mm. This sheet also has a rivet which has been hammered in one upper corner. The third outer sheet is sub-triangular in plan and its length matches both the other sheets. This third sheet of copper alloy is not flat, like the other two, instead it forms a 'D' shape in cross-section with the flat edge formed by the other two sheets. This sub-semi-circular void tapers towards the blunt point and is crumpled and damaged. Along the long edges of this third sheet there are four sub-circular rivet heads visible which are flush with the surface of the sheet. The item has a dark green patina. | 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: | 1540
