Description: | An unidentified cast copper alloy object. The first component of the object is a circular section rod, which tapers slightly to a rounded terminal. The base of the rod is integral is a wider circular section platform. The platform is a circular disc with moulded sides. The sides have two grooves of different depth and width. The upper portion of the disc sides, nearest the rod, is decorated with a low-relief lattice. The underside of the platform has a linear slot across it. The slot is then visible on the sides of the platform. The surface of the object is abraded, but a trace of a mid green patina is visible. The object measures 19.83mm long and 12.4mm diameter. It weighs 9.5g.
The function of the object is unknown. The style of the decoration and condition of the patina may suggest either a Roman or Medieval date. | 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: | 1500 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Angie Bolton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
