Description: | Fragment of an unidentified copper alloy object. The object is possibly Roman in date and is incomplete.The main body of the object comprises of a long sub-triangular piece of copper which is quite narrow, and which tapers to blunt point. In cross-section the object is D-shaped, with the reverse of the object being quite flat and the front being slightly rounded. The front of the object is decorated with longitudinal fluting. In profile the object is slightly angled. The bend may be part of the original design alternatively, the bend may be the result of damage which occurred during deposition. At the top of the object is an integral, sub-rectangular protrusion, which is bent forwards and slightly to the left. The protrusion is damaged due to a break. The rest is now missing. The reverse of the object is undecorated.The object is light green in colour with small patches of reddish brown copper corrosion on the front, and dark green patches of the original patina. The object measures 49.4mm in length, is 7.4mm wide, 2.4mm thick and weighs 3.53g.
