Description: | Incomplete piece of sheet copper alloy, Early Medieval in date and possibly a spangle or applique. It has a hole 3.5mm in diameter pushed through from one side (presumably the uppermost) while 1mm or less diameter holes have been pushed through from the other side (though not completely pushed through, so they give a little peak) in four neat rows. One end is jagged and broken while the other bends downwards at 90degrees (still with a single row of pushed-through holes) before it also becomes jagged and broken. Of the two longer edges, one is quite jagged while the other seems to follow a curving line (it is a little jagged). The metal is grey/ green and its patina appears intact. On the reverse is a patch of orangey-brown around the larger hole, and also around the jagged break at the short end opposite. Measures 23.5x18.5x0.5mm and weighs 0.80g. Cf. MacGregor and Bolick 47.22 and 48.4 | 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: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
