Description: | Cast copper alloy, sub-rectangular hilt band. The two long sides are slightly carinated so that the object appears hexagonal when viewed from above or below. The base of the object is slightly longer than the top of the object, and one of the short edges is concave to accommodate this difference. There is a slot through the object from the top to the bottom. On the upper surface the aperture is small and sub-rectangular (7.8 x 5.1mm). At one end of this aperture, the slot continues through the object, until at approximately halfway through it angles sharply towards the outer short edge so that the slot makes a sub-rectangular cut in this edge from just over halfway down. At the other end of the aperture, the slot also continues through the object, until at just over halfway down it angles toward the short outer edge so that it makes a small sub-triangular cut in this edge from 3mm from the bottom of the object (23.5 x 1.4-4.4mm). The slot becomes slightly narrower at this end. The slot therefore creates a trapezoidal aperture on the lower surface. Dull mid-green patina. Similar to an example in Cowgill et al 1987. | 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: | 1066
