Description: | Bronze age copper alloy casting gate or sprue, 23mm long, 19mm wide and 16mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a greenish/brown patina and weighs 17.25 grams. The object consists of a sub-oval shaped base which tapers inwards gently. Above this the object divides into two sub-circular shafts, 6mm in diameter, which emerge at a 45o angle. The object represents the waste metal that would have 'plugged' the pouring funnel of a mould and would have been removed from a finished object. | 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
