Description: | A copper-alloy artefact of uncertain date and function.The artefact has been made from a piece of circular-sectioned wire, the upper part of which has been bent into an almost closed loop, the narrow gap containing a corrosion product. The lower portion of the wire has been bent so that it is aligned on the same plane as the underside of the loop. The end of this lower portion has also been flattened and has a rounded end.Dimensions: 31.7mm long, 12.7mm wide (height of loop). Weight: 2.12g.The form of this piece suggests it probably served to attach a handle to a metal vessel. Its patination is consistent with a possible Iron Age to Early-Medieval date.
