Description: | A cast copper alloy unidentified object. It is a well made hollow conical which has an abraded lower edge, but it is not all broken. The upper edge appears to be a broken edge. All these breaks are not recent. The only decoration is a ridge bordering the lower edge which has rwo rows of small circular indentations which run along the lower edges of the ridge. The surface of th conical has a well developed thick green/grey patina. It measures 20.53mm long, 12.96mm diameter at the base. It weighs 8g but this includes the soil within the conical. The condtion and surface of the object suggests a Roman date. As to the function, it is uncertain. It could be a type of ferrule whether it is a decorative ferrule or more functional as for a arrow shaft, again it is uncertain.
