Description: | Unidentified object of copper alloy with the reamants of gilding. One end is broken. It weighs 3.24g and measures 30x7x5mm.
The object is conical with faceted sides. It has 8 parallel grooves around its circumference, filled with gold gilding. At the wide end is a small broken projection, also with the remians of gilding.
No parallels have been found, and the function of the object is uncertain. Nick Griffiths suggests that it may be a finial from an elaborate clock or other similar object and is probably post-medieval. | 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
