Description: | A heavily damaged copper-alloy ferrule of probable post-medieval date.
The object, which may have adorned a walking cane, is made from a piece of sheet metal and was probably originally rolled into a cylinder; however, it is now squashed flat. The top and bottom edges have been cut into a scallop pattern.
In its present condition the piece measures 27.1mm long, 20.8mm wide and 1mm thick; it weighs 3.31g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
