Description: | Copper alloy and WoodPossible Ferrule. A cast cylindrical sheath retaining degraded wood within. A transverse rivet of diameter 1.6mm (only its ends remain) passed through the sides of the cylinder to secure a wooden rod or dowel; this feature was kindly noted by Brian Kearsley. The end of the cylinder bears a robust integrally cast lug with a drilled hole for suspension of diameter 2.5mm; the stepped sides of the lug appear intended to limit movement to a single plane and its sides and top are filed, perhaps to assist this movement. A similar, smaller, object (NLM-6638E0) was reported along with this example, though lacking organic remains. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900.Length: 28mm, Diameter: 9.8mm, Thickness (cylinder wall): 0.7mm, Weight: 7.68gms
