Description: | A probably incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object. This object consists of a flat rectangular shaped shaft, measuring 39mm in length and 17mm in width, at its widest point. This shaft flares outwards at one end and has a rounded terminal. The other end tapers and has a circumferencial transverse ridge before a rounded oval shaped protrusion, which seems to be incomplete due to an old break at its tip. Traces of what appear to be tinning can be seen on both faces of this object. Its function and date are unknown but due to the tinning it could possibly be Roman in date, however, no parallel object could be found.
