Description: | A late post-Medieval cast copper-alloy unidentified object (c. 1700-c. 1800). This object is circular in plan with an elongated oval appendage. The main circular part has a flower-like raised design at the front consisting of raised ribs radiating out from a plain flat centre. Its outer edge is serrated. The appendage (17.7 x 7.2mm) is flat and plain at the front. At the rear of the appendage there is an integral lug turned through 90° to the plane (it is now slightly bent to one side). The lug is sub-rectangular and measures 15.4 x 11.3 x 2.6mm. Both faces of the lug have a raised double scroll design. The rear face of the sub-circular part has a central integral stud. The object has traces of a green patina. 45.2 x 19.4 x 12.7mm. Weight: 13.04g. A pair of similar objects has been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database (LANCUM-C1BD91). These have lugs in the form of bird's heads.
