Description: | Rectangular copper-alloy terminal from an object similar to a set of tweezers, thought to be a page holder used when reading a book. The terminal is of thin sheet metal with maximum dimensions of 22 and 19 mm, and has a shaped upper edge, incurved to either side of its junction with the missing arm. The obverse is decorated with a geometric design, probably made from a double row of rouletted triangles, whilst the reverse is undecorated.
There is a similar example from a 13th-century context at Winchester (Biddle 1990, 756; no. 2326A). | 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: | 1200
