Description: | An incomplete and misshapen sheet copper alloy ferrule of probable Post-Medieval date (AD 1500 - AD 1800). Length: 60.9mm; width: 22.8mm and 13.8mm thick. Weight: 18.01g. The weight includes wood contained within the ferrule.The sheet is folded and the edges abut along the vertical plane to form a cone-shape. The abutting vertical edges are soldered. However, the upper part of the soldered join has sprung apart. The separate rounded base is also soldered and has a diameter of 8.5mm. There are at least two pairs of decorative horizontal lines that fully encircle the ferrule although these are barely visible. The whole of the inside is filled with wood.The sheet is fractured and misshapen. It has lost its patina and the surface of the metal has some superficial copper alloy corrosion products. The surface colour of the metal is a dull greenish brown. The wood is in good condition and is a pale buff colour
