Description: | A copper-alloy incomplete unidentified object. This object has a complete terminal suspension loop, c6mm in diameter. This is cast in one with rectangular shaft, with a triangular cross-section. The suspension loop is on the same plane as the triangular side faces of this shaft, which is 30.2mm in surviving length,6mm in width and 5mm in thickness. This shaft becomes thinner towards the incomplete end, at the break it is 0.90mm thick. The rectangular faces of the shaft, to which the suspension loop is set at a 90 degree angle, are decorated. One face has six transverse grooves and the other face has an oval shaped hollow. This decoration ceases just before the incomplete end of the shaft. No parallel could be found for this object, it appears to have been hung from the suspension loop, which is worn on the upper inside edge, it may therefore have been a pendant of some kind. It could date from any time after the Roman period to the post-medieval period. | 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: | 500
