Description: | Iron age copper alloy sword fitting? 50mm long and 31mm wide, with a weight of 32.3 grams. The object is an open oval in form but is slightly squashed. Its inner surface has a square sectioned rib which runs around the internal surface but is slightly worn away at one end and almost completely at the other. The outside of the piece appears to be covered in gold leaf and has been punched with large V shapes - similar to a cosmetic mortar from the same site. The object appears to be part of a sword or dagger fitting given its shape. | 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: | -800
