Description: | A copper-alloy swivel most likely to be medieval in date. This swivel consists of a hexagonal shaped loop with a hole through one short edge which accomodates the integral shaft from a seperate circular shaped loop.
The hexagonal loop measures 12.2mm in width and 12.4mm in length, it is 1.5mm in thickness but flares to 3.9mm in thickness across one side, which has the central hole to accomodate the shaft of the other loop. The circular loop measures 8.6mm in external diameter and 5.6mm in internal diameter. It has a transverse moulding across its neck above the circular cross-sectioned shaft which passes through the hole in the larger hexagonal shaped loop.
This swivel is most likely to be a multi-use item. | 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: | 1066
