Then the foot is outwardly everted, and with two plain collars (each c.2.5mm width) at the junction with the animal head terminal, which has damaged ?round eyes, and the snout broken off. Slightly hollow on the reverse of the animal head terminal. Damaged catchplate, length 23mm. Patchy light-mid green patina with some soil adhering. Length 40.48mm, width 20.42mm, thickness c.8.8mm, weight 10.59g. | 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: | 500
