Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy unidentified object:a curving round-sectioned rod broken at across one end. Towards the other end it widens before narrowing to a point raised above the front of an integral trapezoidal extension, while on the reverse the rod and the extension are flush. That this end of the rod may have been intended to represent a snake's head is supported by engraved curving scale-like lines faintly visible on the front nearby. The front of the extension is engraved with five curving lines and with many short oblique lines between them. There are several small casting imperfections in the sides of both parts. Length more than 43mm. Thickness 6mm. c.43 - c.410.
