Description: | A copper alloy stylus made from a square sectioned rod which gradually widens out. After a small right angled step gains a thinner triangular blade. The two long sides of the blade have V-shaped notches decorating th edges. The handle has an incised design of geometric lines diagonals or possibly letters.
None of the Roman, Saxon or medieval stylii researched had this distinctive step between the handle and the blade. Therefore it is difficult to come to a conclusion as to the object's date. | 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: | 43
