Description: | A copper alloy object dating to the Iron Age.The object consists of two semi-circular wedges which are crescent shaped in profile. The front of the object has the curved faces of the wedges and each wedge has a single hole drilled into it although neither of them are very deep. The back of the object has a semi-circular void which appears to have been attached to another object. When viewed from the back the right wedge has a perforation on the flat face but is again not very deep.The patina of this objects suggests an Iron Age date but the function of the object is uncertain. It was clearly part of a larger object, perhaps a lipped terret such as NLM-922023 and LIN-E32785. It may also have been part of vessel handle as seen on SOMDOR-8B7966.
