content: Style: Unengraved Raw Material 2: Busycon Element: Body fragments Alteration: Weathered, reuse? Manufacturing Notes: A body fragment which has been shaped so that it has rounded corners. Perhaps this is a gorget rough-out, but more likely a function of deterioration. Surface Modification: Smoothed Comments: If this is for a gorget, one lateral edge is not straight, but broken. There is a good chance that this has simply weathered in a way that makes it resemble finished off edges, but the roundedness of the corners of this trapezoid are just nice enough to warrant segregating the piece from its family and friends.
