Description: | Fragment of a pelta-shaped copper-alloy object of uncertain date and function. Possibly a Roman pendant. The object would have originally been symmetrical and would have had the appearance of bulls horns. There is a central vertical rib and, either side, the curved, upturned sides, the right hand one of which is largely missing. The top of the central section also appears to have been broken off. The reverse is flat and plain. The piece measures 24.2mm wide by 13.7mm high and 3.6mm thick. The weight is 4.60g. The condition is corroded. | 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: | Julian Watters | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
