Description: | A copper-alloy possible Viking Age ingot with one pierced terminal. It measures 37.3mm in length, 16.5mm in width and 5.5mm in thickness. Its sides are rounded and one face flat and has transverse lines aross it, presumably created by hammering, although they seem narrow and perhaps more like cut or chisel marks, the other is slightly convex and the surface is smooth but pitted from the casting process. Copper-alloy Viking ingots, with transverse hammer marks on one face but without piercings are known from Saham Toney, Cotessey and Congham, Norfolk (Geake 2001, 242-243, fig 2, b). The function of the piercing is unclear, it is offcentre and 2.7mm in diameter, as it is offcentre if it was suspended it would have hung awkwardly. | 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: | 1000
