Description: | Unidentified copper-alloy object in very corroded condition. It is basically a flat piece of copper-alloy strip, now a little bent, 5 mm wide and 2 mm thick, with one end curled over or otherwise made into a solid cylinder 6 mm in diameter and with a perforation through the middle. The perforation is blocked with iron corrosion. This cylindrical loop is not set symmetrically to the strip, but creates one flat face, protruding on the other face. Over the flat face and top of the loop are two broad flutes; this is the only definite surviving decoration, although there may be hints of transverse grooving on this face below the loop. Length as bent, 37 mm. It seems old, but its function and date are essentially unknown.
