Description: | The object is a stylised finger tip which probably dates from the Roman period, although a later date is also possible. In plan it is rectangular. The two longer sides taper slightly, one of the narrow edges is rounded and the opposite edge is broken. This is not a recent break. The upper surface convex and the reverse is flat at its base. There is a crescentric incised line which represents the lower edge of the finger nail. Below this are two obliquely curved incised lines adding definition to the skin of the finger. The item has a slightly pitted 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: | 43
