Description: | Unidentified and incomplete copper alloy object with traces of gilding. It is 59mm in length, 9mm wide and quite chunky with an average 2-4mm in thickness. Two 'legs' linked by a rivet (in situ) extend, both leaning in to touch the other on different sides then extending outwards again to a point where two arms extend inwards, one sitting either side of the other. One leg continues to extend in a straight line, narrowing and widening in thickness ot a flat surafce. The other leg is missing this extension, an ancient break. The top of the two legs also flattens and has a 4mm wide piercing, slightly to one side, with an upward projection just in front of it. Probably medieval, maybe a little later. | 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 | Creator: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
