Description: | A small composite copper alloy fitting of uncertain function, probably Iron Age from its appearance. The piece was cast in two pieces. One is is an oval-shaped loop of varying thickness, formed by bending the ends of a rod round to join each other. The original rod was not uniform in thickness, narrowing towards either, so the loop now has a thinner section where the 2 ends join (ca 3mm) compared to the opposite section of the loop (ca 6mm). Attached to this loop at the fat section is a flat solid disc, ca 10mm in diameter and 5mm thick. The face of this piece away from the loop is plain and flat, but there is a line of incised decoration around the outside. | 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: | -100
