Description: | An incomplete unidentified object. Roughly triangular in shape measuring 66mm in length and 34mm in width at its widest point. The front face of this object is smooth and decorated with incised scroll like designs, at the start of the complete terminal there is a protruding boss there is another one at the terminal itself. There is a semi-circular projection from one edge of the triangular part. The rest of this object is missing due to an old break, just before the break it seems that there was originally a perforation of some kind. The back face of this object was probably not meant to be seen. It is rough and unfinished.
No parallel could be found for this unidentified object, its shape and the reddish coloured copper-alloy it is made from are reminiscent of ornate late Anglo-Saxon cheekpieces and it could possibly be the terminal of one of these, alternatively it could be post-medieval in date and have had a purely decorative function. | 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: | 1000
