Description: | Incomplete cast copper-alloy unidentified object. The object was possibly originally a figure-of-eight shape; the recovered portion has one whole complete loop which has, what appear to be, the projections which would have formed a second loop still attached at its base. This complete loop has a flattened 'bezel' like area at the top of the loop which has a cast-in zig-zag line design.The function and date of this item remains unknown. Suggestions put forward have included that it formed a part of harness gear or that it was a handle for a lamp or lantern.The most likely date would seem to be late Medieval to early Post-Medieval (c.1400-1700).
