Description: | Cast copper alloy object of unknown type. There is a sub-trapezoidal element, rectangular in section (Length 8.7mm. Width 6.4-5mm. Thickness 1.6mm). There is a circular loop at one end (Diameter 6.4mm. Width c. 4.1mm. Thickness 1.7mm), D-shaped in section, and a solid sub-cylindrical element, with two flat surfaces, at the other. The sub-cylindrical element tapers slightly, so that one of the flat surfaces is larger than the other (Width 6.7mm). From the smaller flat surface (Diameter 7.5mm) project two further, narrow rectangular elements, rectangular in section. One is bent slightly and broken off at a length of c. 17mm, (Width 2.7mm. Thickness 1.7mm), the second is broken off at just 2mm. From the centre of the larger flat surface (Diameter 8.3mm) is a projection, circular in section and c. 4.5mm in length. This projection is constricted at the midway point, where a D-shaped loop is attached. This loop is wider and thicker where the projection passes through it on the straight bar of the D (Width c. 2.2. Thickness c. 4.8mm) and is rectangular in section . The loop section of the D is also D-shaped in section (Width c 1.5mm. Thickness c. 2.3mm). There are filing marks on the surfaces of the object suggesting a medieval date. Dull, dark 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: | 1300
