Description: | A copper alloy Iron Age unidnetified object of uncertain function. It is a tube of copper alloy with one side flat along the whole length. Each end of the tube is flared and it is decorated with a moulded design consisting of a ')(' pattern. In the flat edge of the tube is a rectangular slot which is filled and surrounded by iron corrosion. There is also ferrous corrosion inside the tube. The copper alloy element was probably attached to a larger iron object. The object is very similar in style to WAW-128D32, SWYOR-5C5FB5, SWYOR-D20FD1, SWYOR-D271D5 and SWYOR-09BA81, but is tubular rather than U shaped like the other SWYOR examples. It could be a decorative mount, a fitting or part of a larger object, perhaps a toggle or harness fitting, perhaps used as a line guide. The metal has a well developed even green patina.
