IRON AGE MINIATURE OBJECT
Unknown artist
Miniature copper alloy wheel. Square sectioned ‘axle’, four flat sectioned spokes, sub-circular sectioned ‘tyre’. On both sides there are small dots all the way around the tyre (7 in each quarter), presumably meant to represent rivets. There are also dots on the axle – one in the centre & one at the start of each of the four spokes – again presumably to represent rivets. Brown patina, with some pitting on surface. Thickness c.5.4mm, diameter c.20.2mm, weight 7.80g.
