The opposite terminal of the copper alloy arm has an asymmetrical 'C' shape with both terminals being broken. The exterior of this portion of the object is decorated with a 'V' shaped groove. The patina of the copper alloy is well developed and is a mid blue/green colour. It measures 53.1mm long, 18.94mm wide and 16.44mm thick. It weighs 38.1g.The patina and style of the moulding suggest this object dates to the Roman period. Its function is unknown.
