Description: | The object is made from a cast copper alloy. It is possibly a tool which has an integral tang, which may be of a Roman date due to the patina and style. The largest portion of the tool is a square-sectioned tang which gradually tapers to a blunt point. The second portion is a solid conical shape in profile which tapers to a blunt point, which is abraded, and therefore may not be the original terminal. The tang protrudes from the base of the conical portion. The surface of the tool is slightly pitted, but otherwise has areas of a well developed light blue/green patina It weighs 6.23g and measures 43.95mm long and 10.08mm wide.
