Description: | A cast copper alloy unidentified object.
The object is formed from a loop (now broken open). Projecting down from the loop there is a rectangular strip (cast integrally). The strip tapers ? but has broken off. The strip has a number of notches cut into it, on all four corners. These notches look as if they were used to hold the loop in place. Perhaps the strip went into either a wall of wood and held it steady, with only the loop exposed.
Similar object are still used today.
Two other examples have been recorded in Westfield (East Sussex) SUSS-839AA3 and SUSS-8395D1. | 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: | 1600
