Description: | An uncertain cast copper-alloy object. The object consists of a thin twisting piece of copper-alloy with flat sub-circular lugs at each end. Each of these lugs are perforated, and the corroded remains of iron rivets remain in these perforations. The object was therefore evidently once attached to something, possibly an item of furniture, and possibly as a suspension loop. It is possible that the twisting nature of the object is a result of post-depositional damage, and that it was once straight. No published parallels have been discovered, and this artefact is, for the time being, a mystery. | 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: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
