Description: | Late Saxon/ Early Medieval copper alloy scale pan from balance, circular cut edge, diameter 48mm, creased and broken, slightly dished with three (of originally four evenly-spaced) small holes near the edge, one broken and break with slight trace of possible fourth hole. There are two irregular secondary perforations in the centre of the disc. Oblique file marks and traces of tinning or silvering on the inside. Although scale pans of this type are known from as early as the sixth and seventh centuries (Hinton 1996, 56-60, fig.25) this example is more likely to be Late Saxon or Early Medieval (Cf. Winchester (Biddle 1990, 925-6, fig.285, fig.3221-2) and York (Mainman and Rogers 2000, 2559, fig.1258 no.10409). | 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
