Description: | A cast copper alloy unidentifiable object, which could be the remains of a copper alloy pin.
The object is bent in the middle and both terminals are broken. One terminal is badly damaged so it is impossible to see how it would have been attached to the rest of the artefact. The other terminal is slightly pointed and only the tip has been removed.
The object has been formed from one solid piece of copper alloy, it is circular in section.
Some notches have been made in the copper alloy strip close to the damaged terminal.
Much of the original surface has been removed and so the metal is a mid greenish-brown colour.
This object is possibly medieval to post-medieval in date. However it could be a fragment of cable and therefore modern. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
