Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy unidentified object. This object consists of two sheets of copper-alloy held together by two copper-alloy rivets. The larger oval shaped fragment of sheet measures 29.4mm by 23.8mm in size and the other smaller fragment measures 21mm by 15mm in size. Both sheets are very worn and patches of active powdery green corrosion can be seen on both faces. There is a tiny trace of what is most likely to be gilding on the smaller sheet.
Due to its fragmentary nature the function of this object is unknown it was discovered in association with Roman finds so may be Roman in date, it was also discovered with another larger incomplete unidentified sheet copper-alloy object of unknown function and probable Roman date (see SF-B4E627). | 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
