Description: | Fragment of an unidentified cast copper alloy item, possibly some form of vessel or harness fitting. The piece has a circular sectioned straight projection at one end, ending in an old break. Beyond this it widens into a large D-shaped collar. Level with the lower edge a broader circular sectioned bar projects. This broader bar is curved, gradually at first then sharply back on itself about 120 degrees, it also ends in an old break. The piece is now 16.9mm long 10.9mm wide and 8.5mm thick; it weighs 3.53 grams. The way the collar projects only on one side suggests it was designed to sit flat against something, this side is also more worn. The narrower bar may have been for a strap or a projection to go through a vessel wall.
