Description: | Copper alloy object in the form of a figure, probably female, most likely to be a knife handle. The figure is now heavily abraded, and the legs are not represented. The figure appears to be wearing a draped garment and the head is tilted slightly to one side. The arms are both bent at the elbow, with one hand at the front of the figure and the other at the back. The hand to the back appears to be holding an object, now too worn to identify. Circular apertures are created between the torso and arms of the figure where the arms are bent. The figure merges with the rectangular socket at the top of the legs. The socket tapers slightly and is damaged on the upper surface at the base with a section missing in the centre extending up the socket for c. 14mm, and there are two small holes n the reverse near to the top of the socket. Patchy dark and mid-green patina. | 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: | 1600
