Description: | A copper-alloy element of a now incomplete artefact of uncertain nature. The terminal end of the bar is elaborate, featuring a biconvex terminal of lozengiform cross-section. It itself terminates in a knop, with a further knop central on the four edges. There is a ringed collar below the terminal, and a long pyramidal element below the collar. A narrowed bar of square cross-section continues from the centre of this latter, before having been broken as a result of old damage. Whilst quite corroded traces of gilding remain. This object is comparable to another recorded on this database, ref. NARC-6BE538, dated to the post-medieval period, although an earlier date cannot be ruled out.
