Description: | A copper-alloy worn and incomplete unidentified object. This object consists of a shaft with a triangular cross-section, measuring c30mm in length and 4.5mm in width. The complete terminal of this shaft tapers to a point. 13mm from the terminal end there is another projecting shaft, again triangular in cross-section, projecting at right angles from one side of the original shaft. This projection is 7.2mm in length and c4.5mm in width and also tapers to a point. On the opposing side of the shaft to this projection there is a roughly rectangular shaped very worn moulding, this may have originally have been zoomorphic. The other terminal of the shaft has an incomplete circular loop, measuring 16.2mm in external diameter and 9.9mm in internal diameter. No parallel could be found for this object although it is believed to be Roman in date.
