Description: | Copper alloy ring-shaped item 4mm thick and 13.9mm in diameter, the piercing 8mm in diameter, with a cast-in extension on one side expanding from 7mm where it meets the ring to 9.8mm at its outer end, and from 4mm to 7mm in thickness. This process has iron corrosion products at the terminal. The ring itself is squared in section, but the inner piercing is bevelled on both sides creating an 'hour-glass' section to the hole. The surfaces oif the process representing the thickness of the ring are rounded in profile, but those of the faces which are in plane with the face of the loop are flat, and all appear to have been modified by filing. This item may be a looped terminal from the iron tang of a knife or similar handled object. | 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 |
