Description: | Cast copper alloy curved bar with an almost complete loop at one end and a broken loop at the other, possibly a handle. The centre of the bar is D shaped in section with a flatter inner side, is it only slightly curved. At one end it curves sharply up 90 degrees and ends in a a circular loop, one side of which appears to have worn through. At the other end is a more gradual curve although the end is also at 90 degrees to the middle, it ends in a small section of loop, the majority of which is lost to old breaks. Both ends are circular in section. It is 75.7mm long, 5.1mm by 4.7mm by the centre, 13.5mm wide by 4.0mm thick at the almost complete loop and weighs 15.60 g.It is probably a drop handle although due to the simple form and heavy corrosion it is hard to date it precisely; it may be Medieval or Post Medieval in date.
