Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Late Iron Age or Early Roman toggle. The object takes the form of a cylindrical body, capped at either end by slightly domed, circular roves. The main body of the toggle is decorated with a central groove that runs around the central circumference of the body. This in effect ?pinches? the toggle in, making it a figure of 8 in plan. At each end of the body is a slightly wasted neck, to which the plain roves are integrally attached. The toggle once had a circular loop, which is now missing. All that remains are two pointed lugs where the loop extended from the main body of the toggle. Between these lugs, to the top of the body of the toggle is a sub circular depression 5.96mm long and 7.2mm wide. The object is abraded and pitted and the original surface is missing. It now has a dark brown patina, with tiny patches of bright green corrosion product. The break edges at the loop are worn suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The toggle is 27.42mm long, 8mm at the widest point, 7.42mm at the grooved middle and weighs 7.81g. The roves are 3mm thick and 8.56mm and 8.34mm in diameter.A similar toggle has been reported from Suffolk as record SF3326E3. | 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: | -300
