Description: | One half of a copper-alloy swivel of probable 11th C. AD date. The ring is sub-circular in section, having a slightly angular outer edge. The break between the ring and the socket, into which the other half of the swivel would have slotted, is defined by the presence, on each side, of a raised vertical rib. Between this rib and the socket each side is decorated with a triple indented lozenge design. The socket consists of a circular hole 9.5mm in diameter. The object has a dark green patina and is slightly worn around the socket. It measures 24.5mm wide by 23.9mm deep. The ring is 3.5mm in diameter. The weight is 7.81g. | 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: | 1000
