Description: | A cast copper-alloy fragment of possible metal working debris, distorted due to exposture to heat. Roughly triangular in shape measuring 46.4mm by 27.3mm in size. Both faces are rough to the touch and irregular, one face has the remains of what might be moulded decoration consisting of four longitudinal mouldings within one of the tapering terminals of the triangular shape. No parallel could be found for this object but due to its distorted and apparently heat damaged nature it seems likely that it was perhaps being re-melted as part of the process of metal working. Its date is unknown it could concievably date from the Roman period onwards. | 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
