Description: | Just incomplete copper alloy probably Iron Age ?toggle. It is roughly semi-circular in section (the 'underside' - the side without moulded decoration - is rather flat) although it is rather more high than it is wide. In shape, it is lozengiform, expanding to a central point which on the rather-more curved upper surface has two moulded and slightly unequal horizontal mouldings with a 1mm deep and wide groove between. The mouldings are 3mm and 4mm wide. The ?toggle is 47.5mm long and at its centre point 16mm wide and 16mm tall. The two ends either side of the central decoration and open and also jagged and broken. They would have been circular-ish in section with a 4-5mm diameter (possibly slightly taller than they are wide). One end has a piercing (2mm diameter) to either side - presumably the other had the same although this is now broken. Weighs 25.33g. | 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
