Copper-alloy gilt lace tag

posted on 2021-10-26, 19:42 authored by Helena HamerowHelena Hamerow
Rolled sheet bronze conical ferrule, length 2.8cm. Upper diam. 3mm. For all the world like a miniature spear ferrule, split sided, and with holes for a rivet at the top. Faussett thought it the ferrule for a bone pin, but the rivet somewhat against this. Ferrule of tiny wooden stick? Or very possibly a tag for a boot lace. No position mentioned. Cf. examples for Kingston grave 285 which Faussett illustrates as longer.The reference on the SCH Card to Kingston Grave 285 needs to read 'Grave 185' – B.B.
