Description: | A copper alloy incomplete unidentified object. This object consists of a cylindrical part 42mm in length and 14mm in diameter, it tapers towards its terminal end, which is incomplete due to an old break, and has a cross shaped perforation with rounded corners in its centre. The wider end of this tapering cylinder fits through a circular perforation in a circular disc, it is fixed in place by a horizontal bar which runs through it with one end emerging beneath the circular part and one above it. The circular disc is 23mm in diameter, and incomplete due to old breaks, it has part of a boarder of decorative rectangular shaped notches surviving and part of a vertical curvilinear part which implies that this circular disc could have originally have been the base of a cylinder. No parallel could be found for this object, however, it is most likely to be Medieval in date. | 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: | 1100
