Description: | An incomplete copper alloy toggle of late Iron Age date. The head of the toggle is baluster shaped featuring recessed circular terminals with central raised knops. The circumference of these terminals has been decorated with parallel engraved double lines between which are diagonal incised grooves resulting in a rope work design.The central portion of the baluster head is swollen and extends to form an integral shank which terminates in a worn break encrusted with iron corrosion. The swollen element is decorated with three raised semi-circular knops resulting in swollen lozenges within. When viewed side on this decoration is similar to an acanthus moulding.The metal has a mid green patina and is worn. The object is 28.8mm long, 28mm wide, 11.3mm thick, the terminals are 11mm in diameter and weighs it 17.4g.Similar toggles have been recorded on the PAS database.
