Description: | A copper-alloy object which is probably a link from the chain of a Roman to medieval steelyard.
The object has been made from a length of copper-alloy wire which has been twisted into a double-looped link. These loops are set at right angles to each other and in the straight central section, the wire has been looped around six times. The top of both loops show signs of wear.
The object measures 52.3mm long, 12.8mm wide and weighs 9.6g. | 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
