Description: | Copper alloy fragment of uncertain date, possibly RomanThe fragment is cast and broken on three sides (with a surviving length of 24.3mm, a surviving height of 17.3mm, a thickness of 12.9mm and a weight of 21.8g). The fragment appears to comprise an integral loop (of approximately 20mm diameter) and base, or similar. The separation of the two integral components is defined by an applied groove. There is the beginning of an angular projection below the loop on one side. The underside of the fragment has a narrow slot. The surface is worn and slightly pitted with a pale green patina.The fragmentary nature of the piece makes identification difficult, it is possible that the loop secured a handle for a vessel or similar, although the comparatively large proportions of the piece would suggest a sizable vessel.
