Description: | Fragment of a copper alloy terminal. The shaft is hollow and conical in section. The shaft appears to be decorated with three plain bands leading onto a slightly expanded flat terminal. In the centre of the terminal face is a circular hole 2mm in diameter. The copper alloy is worn surrounding the hole, and forms a rough, slightly recessed band circa 3mm thick. This suggests that a rivet or similar was placed through the hole and secured a smaller object onto the face of the terminal. There are no traces of any other metal such as iron. The object is likely to be a shaft from a key or tool. | 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: | 43
