Description: | An unidentified object of probably medieval or post medieval date. The artefact is cast in copper alloy being irregular in shape and profile. Originally it was circular with a cast circular hole near to its centre (diameter 8.1mm). The upper / outer edge is slightly domed and is pierce either side of the central hole by two small holes. One of these holes has the remnants of an iron nail / rivet. The underside of the object is irregular with a raised internal rim around the central hole. The function of the object is unknown - it has a passing resemblance to the internal part of an inkwell, although too large and heavily for this purpose. A relatively late date is suggested 1600-1850.The artefact measures: 34.4mm length; 26.0mm wide and 8.9mm thick and weighs 16.71 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
