Description: | An incomplete copper alloy unidentified object of probable Modern date (Post AD 1800). Length 21.3mm, maximum diameter 7.8mm. Weight 1.58g.
This hollow object is generally conical in form. The larger end is open and has an old break. The lower terminal end is bulbous and is accentuated by a small waist. Close to the open end there are two opposite pairs of perforations. These perforations probably accommodated studs or pins in order to secure the material within. The inside is filled with a decayed organic material, possibly leather. There is no indication of a seam down the side to suggest that the metal has been folde and then soldered.
A dark green slightly corroded patina has survived in places and beneath this patina there are traces of gilding. | 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: | 1800 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
