Description: | Sub-oval, flat copper alloy object. The object is broken into two pieces and each has a slightly different patina as they were recovered from the same site some time apart. The object has a curved outer edge and is oval in shape. There is a band around one side and both ends of the oval which looks like a twisted rope in design. The bottom edge of the object (where this band stops) has broken away and it is unclear whether the band continued or not. The decoration within this outer band is simple grooves, that fan out slightly towards each rounded end. The object is unusual in design and could possibly be the handle of a comb with the teeth missing where the broken edge is. The decoration is the same on both sides and there is evidence of gilding on both sides. The object weighs 22.36g altogether and measures 66mm in length, 30mm in width and 2.5mm in thickness. | 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: | 1500
