Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object. It seems that none of the original edges of this object now survive and most of it is missing due to old breaks, now worn. The surviving fragment is rectangular in shape, measuring 65mm in length and 31mm in width, it is 5mm in thickness and slightly curvilinear. The front face has two parallel longitudinal grooves near to one of the incomplete edges. It is also smoother and more polished than the back face, which is rough to the touch and less shiny. Small hammer marks can also be seen on the front face. The longitudinal edge of this object opposite the two decorative grooves is bent at a 45 degree angle to the rest of the front face of this object. The function of this object is unknown, as is its date. However, as it was found on a Roman site, it is perhaps most likely to be Roman in date.
