Description: | Copper alloyPossible Fireside Implement Handle. Cast openwork object comprising a loop at either end with a stem uniting them. The larger loop is subdivided and reinforced by a thin rod springing from a flower bud, and bears a collared socket of internal diameter 4.7mm; the smaller loop is open, perhaps serving for suspension of the object, and has a flat-ended collared terminal at the equivalent position. Loops and stem are alike decorated with vegetal swags, florets and billeted borders. The object is now bent so as to bring the loops to a roughly side-by-side position. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1860. Length (as found): 51.2mm, Width: 32.5mm, Thickness (at terminal): 10mm, Weight: 26.56gms. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
