Description: | A copper-alloy unidentified object date unknown for which no parallel could be found. This object is conical in shape measuring 30.91mm in diameter and 18.84mm in height, the pointed top is incomplete due to old breaks. The base is decorated with a border with longitudinal grooves running along it, part of this border has now broken off from the rest of the object. The object has a central hole which appears to be filled with lead and the underside of the object is concave. The upper face has a teardrop shaped indentation in one side, which may possibly have been a casting flaw. It has a dark brown patina.
Due to the presence of lead this object could either have been mounted onto a larger one with a lead solder or possibly functioned as a weight of some kind. | 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 |
