Description: | A possible fragment of copper alloy casting waste. The waste is a possible sprue or jet from a moulded object. The sprue has a irregular head which as an integral conical beneath, which vaguely resembles a stud. The head and stud elements have an uneven surface and abraded edges. There are traces of a mid green patina. It measures 25.39mm long, 16.93mm wide and weighs 10.1g. The object is too irregular to be a purposeful object, and the surface with the single stem perhaps suggests it may be a sprue rather than a stud. The surface is abraded and does not have a heavy patina which is immediately recognisable as prehistoric, the date for sprues, therefore the date is unknown.
