?Iron Age incomplete handle |
||
| Description |
English: Copper alloy unidentified incomplete object with a greenish blue patina and a central piercing through which a c.14mm long rivet is passed. The object has one flat side which is D-shaped with only the outer edge (1-2.5mm in width) being flat and smooth. Inside this area the object is slightly concave with a raised central area, through which the head of the rivet passes (c.5mm diameter). It is clear this side of the object would not have been seen. The other side of the object (which would have been visible) is smooth and concave, with the longer curved edge rising to a lip, and the straight edge extending to a midpoint at which a 6mm wide projection begins, C-shaped in section with the curve facing into the object, and broken after 7mm. Just in front of the projection and at the middle is the piercing through which the rivet is passed, with no head but 2mm in diameter. It presumably would have been barely visible. The maximum thickness from the smooth-edged reverse of this object to the point at which the rivet emerges at the front of the object is c.3-4mm. Given the rivet is 14mm long, the thickness of whatever the object was rivetted to must be at the most c.10mm. The form of the object is very similar to a handle, and its shape and style suggest a date maybe in the Iron Age, or Roman. Its width is 16mm and its length 23mm. |
