Description: | An unidentified copper-alloy object. The closest parallel that could be found was the back part of an early medieval type 6 or 7 prick spur (London Museum, 1940). The object is sub-rectangular and tapers from the middle towards the two ends. It has a slight curvature (due in part to post-depositional damage) and is triangular in section, with a flat inner surface. At the centre point of the upper surface is a roughly lozenge-shaped projection with an indented cross. This may have been the place at which the point was attached. Just before the point on each end where the thin arms are broken off is a decorative moulding consisting, in each case, of a pair of sub-oval projections laid end to end and aligned vertically to the object. Overall, the artefact measures 50.2mm long by 13.8mm high (at the centre) and 7.4mm thick. It weighs 15.34g. | 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: | 1100
