Description: | A cast, copper alloy pipe tamper in the shape of a sleeve with a cuff, from which projects a human wrist and hand grasping a stick or scroll. One end of the scroll has broken away and is missing; the remaining end tapers slightly away from the hand. The artefact has a light green patina. It is 50.9mm long, 35.7mm wide and 7.8mm thick. It weighs 17.59gm. Compare YORYM-C13371, SUR-48E9F2, NCL-798160 and SOMDOR-B383F7. Similar examples are illustrated on page 63 of Detector Finds by Bailey (1992). A Late Post Medieval to Modern date is suggested.
