Description: | A copper-alloy tool of uncertain date and function*.
The form of the object, which is irregular in plan, suggests that it may possibly have been designed for metalworking. The front segment of the tool is sub-square in section and tapers from a maximum width and thickness at the middle of the object to a blunt point at the distal end. The middle segment of the tool clearly acted as the point of attachment, probably for a wooden haft. It increases in width slightly towards the back and has a vertical oval hole at its centre. The back segment has downward-sloping upper and lower surfaces and has two prongs (one broken) either side of a central aperture.
It measures 66.2mm long, by 24.2mm wide and 14.4mm thick. The weight is 76.04g. | 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: | -2150
