Description: | A late Iron Age to early Roman cast copper-alloy toggle (c. 300 BC - c. 100 AD).The toggle is symmetrical in form with a central bulbous body and a circular terminal at each end giving the toggle a 'hammer head' or 'baluster' shape. Each terminal is about 9.70mm in diameter and their ends are plain. The body is partly hollow as it has a sub-rectangular void at the centre with an over-arching loop on a longitudinal alignment. On the opposite side of the void, the body is slightly flattened and has a circular depression with the remains of a rivet. There is no trace of any inlaid materialThis toggle is corroded and pitted and has traces of a shiny silvery green patina at the junctions of the terminals and the body. 27.56 x 13.33 x 10.56mm. Weight: 12.65g.A similar toggle has been published and illustrated in Bailey (2004, 87: ref. 10.7).Similar toggles have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: HAMP-9EA592 and IOW-9FA5A1.
