Description: | Copper alloy looped fitting, probably from a vessel of uncertain date.The loop is cast and is complete (with an overall length of 31.2mm and a weight of 25.2g). The loop is oval (with a height of 26.4mm and a width of 30.6mm; 13.9mm x 17.4mm internal) and is comparatively substantial with a sub-oval section (7.9mm wide and 6.7mm thick). Wear facets are now difficult to discern on the interior of the loop. The loop was attached by an integral rivet, which has been peened-over on the face. The inside end of the rivet also has a linear incised line, perpendicular to the axis of the loop. The integral rivet has a moulded collar flaring from the loop. The original surface of the loop has been lost and is now brown and golden-bronze colour.The simple form of the vessel mount make dating difficult and it may be from a vessel, possibly a bucket of later prehistoric through to post medieval date.
