Description: | Copper-alloy figure, probably of a female. The object is 29 mm tall and 22 mm wide. It is oval in profile. The body of the figure is oval and decorated on its front and reverse with a cross within a box. The face of the figure is simple, merely consisting of two circular incisions for eyes, a crude nose and a horizontal incision for a mouth. The figure is wearing what is either a form of head dress, or has its hair raised up on its head. The reverse of the head is flat. On the base of the item is a groove, presumably for attachment to something. It is quite likely that this item is an end stop for a knife handle. It is probably medieval to post-medieval in date. | 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: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
