Description: | undated Copper alloy plate, 46mm long, 37mm wide and 0.25mm thick. The object is in good condition with a greenish/blue patina and weighs 3.99grams. The object is damaged around its upper edges but the lower edge and the lower sides have definate edges, which suggests the object was made to be inlaid into something. It depicts a monk or priest who is holding up a book and is holding his hand raised above it, with two fore fingers outstretched as though giving a blessing. The figure is dressed in a cloak fastened with a brooch and is wearing some sort of head band or hat. Above the image are engraved letters I and N and above this is a border filled with chevron incised lines. The depiction of the face is reminiscent of irish manuscripts. It is impossible to say what date the object is. | 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 | Creator: | Wendy Scott | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
