Description: | Unidentified object made from cast copper alloy. It bears a curious resemblance to the nib of a pen, but this may just be fortuitous. At one end the object is a hollow cylindrical tube, 10 mm in diameter. The tube has a worn groove around the top and a worn moulding close to the bottom; these decorations do not appear to continue around the reverse, where there is a longitudinal rectangular projecting lug across the line of the moulding. This lug is 8 mm long and 3 mm wide, and has a central circular perforation. Below the tube, the object is cut away at the reverse and slightly thickened at the front to form a nib-like shape. There are traces of two worn grooves which curve down and up again around the top of the 'nib', which then flattens gradually towards the point.
Date and function unknown, but compare SF6761 and SF7423. | 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 |
