Description: | Cast cu-alloy unidentified object. It is of tubular shape, hollow inside with one end open, the other closed. It slightly tapers towards the closed end which itself is funnel-shaped and decorated with circular grooves all around the 'funnel' and circular terminal. Furthermore, there is a moulding between funnel and tube, as well as a small moulded knop in the centre of the circular terminal. The other terminal, however, seems to have been less nicely finished/worked, as if it would have been hidden from sight.The artefact was found on a well-known Roman site and it is highly likely that it dates from the Roman period, but until we know what it was used for, it cannot be closely dated.
