Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy Late Iron Age or Early Roman toggle. The object takes the form of a cylindrical body, capped at either end by circular roves. The main body of the toggle is decorated with a pair of grooved parallel lines (4.3mm apart) that run around the central circumference of the body. At each end of the body is a slightly wasted neck, to which the plain roves are integrally attached. The toggle has a semi circular loop, which spans the main body, between the ?necks?. Between each end of the loop, in the body of the toggle, is a sub circular depression. The object is abraded but some of the original surface survives with a mid green patina. Exposed surfaces are lighter, brighter green. The toggle is 27.18mm long, 11.94mm wide, 13.18mm high to the top of the loop and weighs 17.01g. The roves are 14mm in diameter and 3mm thick.
A similar toggle has been recorded from Essex as ESS-853D41. | 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: | -100
