Description: | Copper-alloy object consisting of a central oval-section rod, unevenly bent into a curve, with a flattened plate at either end. Each plate is oval, with the rod joining it in the centre of a long side, and a small knop opposite the rod. The effect is of a flattened onion shape. The rod's section is 4 x 3 mm, and its unbent length is c. 26 mm. The plates at either end are 16 x 14 and 17 x 15 mm. Total bent length 42 mm. The function of this object is uncertain, as is its date; its rough, corroded but stable deep green patina hints at some age.
