Description: | Iron age copper alloy toggle 27mm long and 12mm wide, with a weight of 11.71 grams. The object consists of two circular terminals, 12mm in diameter and 4mm deep which have rounded outer edges. Between this is a shaft 18mm long which widens considerably in the middle, from 7mm to 11mm in diameter. This accomodates a recessed circle, 8mm in diameter on one side which may have held enamel. The opposite side of this is hollow to allow room for small circular shaft, 9mm long and 3mm in diameter, which runs across the void and acts as a catch. The object is in good condition and has an even brown patina. | 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: | Wendy Scott | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
