Description: | Possible post-medieval Pipe tamper. The object is made of copper alloy and consists of a decorated flat circular plate with an oval sectioned tamper coming off. The tamper part widens towards the end and is undecorated, it is bent slightly at an angle from the flat circular plate part. The cicular part of the tamper is decorated on both sides, one has a spiders web shape around the outer edge which is decorated inside with a random linear design. The other side has a thin border of radiating lines around the edge. The central design looks like an early triangular padlock shape and again, the area is covered with a pattern of lines, these may have acted as match striker. The object weighs 14.2g and measures 49mm in length and 27.6mm in diameter (across the flat circular part). The tamper measures 8.2mm in width.
