Description: | Copper alloy, gilt.Rod; possible fitting. Cast rod with a thin longitudinal rib or flange. One end is slightly expanded and shaped like a domed screw head with a transverse slot; The other end is bifurcated, and probably broken. Traces of gilding, which extend to the flange which so was presumably a visible feature. The surface treatment may suggest an early Post-Medieval date, as applied to sword hanging suites and harness fittings, though a mechanical function might also be entertained. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700. Length: 64.6mm, Width (with flange): 5.5mm, Thickness/diameter (rod): 3.9mm, Weight: 6.43gms
