Description: | A cast copper-alloy ferrule of uncertain date. It is circular in form, D-shaped in section with flat back face and rounded front face that carries moulded decoration. This comprises two large circular motifs joined by incised transverse lines, from which extends around the circumference of the ferrule an interlaced band, possibly intended to represent a laurel band or similar. The exterior surfaces of the object are extremely worn and have much corrosion and encrustation, although traces of gilding are visible in places. It measures 8.29mm in height, 15.80mm in external diameter, 10.62mm in internal diameter and 4.51g in weight.This is a decorative cast copper-alloy ferrule. It is of uncertain date and may belong to any point from the Roman period onwards, although a later date seems most plausible.
