Description: | Possibly Roman tin-coated copper alloy unidentified object, flat, triangular with an integral rounded loop at one angle opposite a slightly concave side. One face is tinned and decorated with finely engraved curving lines, now largely obscured by wear. Some very delicate pecked dots are visible. The other face is recessed below a rib around the edge of the loop and along the two straight sides. A groove runs parallel to the concave side for a short distance. Perhaps the object is the handle of some form of small vessel to which the concave side would have been attached, presumably by solder. It suggests a diameter of c.80mm. 27.5 x 23mm. Thickness1.5 - 2.5mm.
