Description: | Post medieval cast copper alloy dividers, 70.82mm long and 16.6mm wide. The object is in good condition with a dark brown patina and weighs 50g. The object consists of two cast arms which fit together very tightly, joined by a hinge mechanism. They begin with a globular, collared terminal which sits above the hexagonal shaft housing the hinge. Below this the arms curve outwards to form a circular void and then return to their original line, with a raised collar on the outer edge of each arm below the void. The arms are semi-circular in section and taper to the points, which are intact. A similar pair of dividers are illustrated in Bailey, G. Detector finds 2, page 68 fig.12. | 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
