Description: | A copper-alloy incomplete unidentified object, 88.98mm in length. This object consists of a rectangular cross-section shaft, 69,62mm in length and 6.5mm in width with a central circumferencial moulding with two circumferencial grooves around this. A one end of the shaft there is a U-shaped loop (33mm by 24mm in size), the first half of which is still rectangular in cross-section and the second half of which is flattened. In the centre of the loop there is corroded iron. There are two incomplete projections from the flattened end of the loop, incomplete due to old breaks. The opposite end of the shaft appears to be incomplete due to an old break too. No parallel could be found for this object its function is unknown, it could possibly be an unusual drop handle of some kind. It could date from the Roman to the post-medieval periods. | 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
