Description: | A complete cast copper alloy toggle of Iron Age date. The toggle has a pointed oval body with a circular sectioned shank extending from one side. The shank terminates in a double loop, positioned side by side. The toggle is undecorated.The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is worn. The toggle is 26.8mm long, 22.7mm wide, 8.3mm thick and weighs 8.4g.There is some debate as to whether these objects are cosmetic pestles as recorded in SWYOR-E137B1 and DENO-D53724 or toggles of post-medieval date as seen in SF-332DF0. There is also an argument for a toggle of Iron Age date which is more plausible for this example due to its patina.
