Description: | Copper alloy ?incomplete unidentified object.It is rectangular in shape, measuring 30.5x25x2.5mm and weighing 17.04g. One short edge appears an original, finished edge. The object is slightly bent at this end. On one face are two parallel lightly incised lines, running from long- to long-edge. On is just off centre, the other lying nearer to the short end. Running from this short end to the nearest line are two much deeper lines, equidistant with another between them running almost to the second lighter incised line. The gaps between all lines is exactly 6mm.On the reverse is a groove with rectangular area at the end, possibly not intentional as it appears gouged out. There is also a much larger and regular area of a lighter green substance over the surface. Possibly some kind of fixing? It is higher than the level of the object and appears to be copper alloy.Much of the surface of the object is missing areas of patina.Possibly for measuring? Probably post medieval in date.
