Description: | a post-medieval copper alloy object. It consists of a strip with a lozenge-shaped terminal to the left, in the form of a man's head with repousse features. His beard forms the bottom part of the terminal and brushed back hair forms the top. Two large ears form the edges of the lozenge to left and right. He has a moustache on his upper lip which trails to the edges of the piece on either side. To the right the object extends into a flat, approximately rectangular, strip with a rounded terminal. There is a collar half way along the strip. There are traces of two iron rivets, one with a square rove within the strip, one on either side of the collar. On the reverse of the piece, behind the head, is an integral penannular clasp or fitting, with a projecting base piece 4mm below . This would allow for an object of 5mm diameter to be held upright at 90 degrees to the strip. The object is 45.05mm wide and 28.09mm in length (height of lozenge), and the strip is 13.55mm wide near the rounded terminal. The object weighs 18.11g. | 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: | 1600
