Description: | A drop-shaped Iron Age toggle cast from copper-alloy. Obverse 'eye' design, with circular inner edge tapering to pointed outer edge. An undecorated circle in relief forms the 'pupil' of the eye (7.5mm in diameter). The reverse features a central concave depression which imitates the overall shape of the object. Between this depression and the inner edge is the beginning of the loop; this is otherwise missing following an old break. The toggle is similar to an example illustrated in Murawski (2003, 83; fig. I13-0206). | 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: | 200 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robert Webley | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
