Description: | Copper alloy fragment. This object represents a shaft of metal that is suboval in section, with a slight bend along its length so that it is almost C shaped in plan. One end has a moulded ,flattened globular section that is broken horizontally across. This is decorated on one side with two diagonally incised lines. This may be a terminal to the object, but could equally have been attached to something else. The other end is broken horizontally across the shaft. The object has an end to end diameter of 50.38mm, is 5.84mm wide across the shaft, is 5.06mm thick and weighs 12.94g. It has an even brown patina. The broken edges are worn, siggesting damage occurred in antiquity. It is unlikely to be of prehistoric date, so a date range of Roman to post medieval is given.
