iron age currency bar 12" 300mm long glastonbury lake village

a nominally 300mm long iron age currency bar of the La Tene period, corresponding in tip and socket design to finds from the Salmonsbury hoard and Glastonbury lake village (UK). the name "currency bar" is somewhat misleading as the construction of the bar *with point and socket" shows the ability and therefore quality of the bar to be forged into a point and a socket without splitting (low slag content) and would have been a standard supplied piece for trade or bartering.
