Description: | A broken copper-alloy object of uncertain function. The object is very likely to be of Roman date judging from its form and patina. The object has a circular base from which stems a shaft, circular in section. The base of the object measures 19.8 mm in diameter and the shaft is 7 mm thick. The shaft has a decorative rib which is broken, but appears to have once been hexagonal in shape. The shaft is broken at its top, just above an incised line which runs around it, and it is unclear how the artefact would have developed from here. The base has the remains of what is a possible solder on its bottom, indicating that this artefact is an accoutrement to another artefact. Similar unidentified artefacts are illustrated in Crummy (1983, pages 163 and 166; 4601, 4602, 4640). | 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: | 43
