Description: | Iron age or Roman? copper alloy object, 32mm long, 18mm wide with a weight of 10.3 grams. The object is incomplete which makes identification difficult. The most obvious thing is a Roman key. It consists of a broken loop, half is present, which is attached to a shaft about 20mm long. The shaft has a large protruding collar in the centre and at the far end it widens out into a form that is difficult to describe, given its damaged condition. It is basically a protruding short shaft which emerges at a right angle. It is obviously incomplete and may have a rounded terminal. If its not a key the next best possibility is perhaps a fitting of some sort, perhaps harness??
