Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object of uncertain form. One terminal end of the object survives intact, the opposite end terminating in old breaks. It is flat, rectangular in form, expanding slightly towards the terminal end. The survivin fragment of the object has been folded to produce a U-shaped profile and has pitted dark green surfaces. It measures 9.74mm in length (folded), 9.20mm in width (folded), 8.43mm in height, 1.02mm in thickness, and weighs 1.26g.The precise form or function of this object remains uncertain. It is possible that it originally formed the terminal end of something like a bracelet of Roman date, or equally may have served as a small copper-alloy clip or fastening. The patina and general appearance of the object suggest it may date as early as the Roman period, although a later date cannot be ruled out.
