Early Medieval shield boss. Drawing: Frank Basford |

Description |
English: Incomplete iron cone shaped and carinated shield boss in very poor condition. Length 135mm, diameter at the carination 98mm. At the angle of the carination is a cordon which circumvents the boss. Above the carination the sides curve upwards and inwards towards the apex where the diameter is about 8mm, thus resulting in a cone shape with a concave profile. The apex is in the form a flat "disc-head" which is 65mm in diameter and 3-5mm thick and is slightly convex at the front. Below the carination the 2 walls of the boss curve gently outwards and are slightly convex in profile. A flange, which enabled the boss to be secured to the shield, has not survived. The thickness of the heavily corroded walls and cone are 3-4mm. A similar shaped shield boss was found at Chessell Down, Isle of Wight, Anglo Saxon cemetery during the nineteenth century and is illustrated in Arnold 1982. However, on this example the terminal end is missing. |
