Description: | An irregular cast copper alloy composite unidentified artefact of unknown date function or (most probably post Medieval). The artefact is incomplete and fragmentary; in shape / form it is similar to a Roman bow brooch, however in construction it is most likely to be more modern. The fragment is composite being formed from two lengths of copper alloy conjoined by a lateral ring of copper alloy. One end of the object is fitted through a horizontal C shaped length of copper alloy sheet set at an angle of 90 degrees. The slight nature of the artefact suggests that it had no structural purpose and it is possible it is a decorative fitting or mock handle from a much lighter piece. The fact that the composite fitting is cast suggests a date pre 1800.The fragment measures 33.9mm length, 6.2mm width and is 3.2mm thick. It weighs 3.15 grams | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
