Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy unidentified object. Possibly part of a scientific instrument of Late Post-Medieval or Modern date (post c. 1700). Length: 64.0mm; width: 61.0mm and 5.0mm thick. Weight: 27.26g.The object consists of a 'rim' which has old breaks at each end. The 'rim' has a raised rib extending throughout its longitudinal centre. Either side of the rib is a very small groove that appears to have been created with continuous punch marks. A projection at on side of the 'rim' is triangular in cross-section. It tapers throughout its length and terminates with a point of three facets. A projection extending in the opposite direction is incomplete due to an old break. The rear face is scored with many fine linear marks that may be related to filing.The object has a shiny mid-green patina overall.
