There are incised lines running from the middle to about two-thirds along each side on the top & side surfaces, but not the (concave) underside - presumably this side was not meant to be seen. Oval sectioned throughout, tapering to the (damaged) ends. Central oval perforation which tapers towards the top. Constriction around the middle, at the perforation. Fine light green-brown patina, original surface only remaining in a few areas of low relief (e.g. in part of constriction, & in some of the incised lines). Some pitting on rest of surface. Length c.36.6mm, width 16.0mm, thickness (tips to top)c.20mm, thickness (across central constriction) 12.46mm, thickness (max) 15.9mm, diameter hole (top) 6.2-4.75mm (bottom) 8.1-9.6mm, weight 29.20g. | 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: | 1500
