Description: | Copper alloyPossible ferrule. Cast conical cylinder with an apical loop formed by crimping of its narrower end. This terminal bears a drilled hole of diameter 2.5mm, and its stepped sides suggest it was intended to limit movement to a single plane. At its wider end, the cylinder bears scars indicating the position of a transverse rivet with a head diameter of 2.3mm - its further extent is lost, though its other end is visible, showing it went through the object off-centre.A similar, larger, object retaining degraded wood (NLM-662EE3) was reported along with this example; despite this being smaller, it apparently sheathed a wooden object of similar diameter, and presumably served the same function. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900.Length: 20.8mm, Diameter: 9.2mm, Wall thickness: 0.6mm, Weight: 2.14gms.
