Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment of unknown date and function. The fragment is broadly cylindrical in plan with an oval cross section. The bar expands from one broken edge to an oval 'turned' knop shaped terminal. The artefact is solid. The broken edge is old and it is possible that as the break is irregular the artefact may have broken across a loop or split end; this in turn may suggest a use as some form of weight or strap end. There is no decoration or applied surface present; it is a mid green colour with an abraded surface patina. The artefact is most likely to date from either the Roman or Medieval period. The artefact measures 27.8mm length, 8.1mm width across the bar, 5.9mm thick across the bar, the knop has a measurement of 8.9mm x 8.5mm. The artefact weighs 7.64 grams.
