Description: | Copper alloyUnidentified. Cast object of plano-convex section. Possibilities range from a medieval cauldron leg of eccentric form through to part of a zoomorphic casting, perhaps representing part of the head of an ox or boar with a snout or harness. The plano-convex section is probably an original feature, with the rough texture of the flatter surface intended to be concealed from view. The broader end of the object appears to have been broken in antiquity and is smoothed, while the narrower end displays a rougher and presumably more recent break. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Medieval, 40-1500.Length: 49.6mm, Width: 34mm, Thickness: 26mm, Weight: 155.78gms.
