Description: | Copper alloy Unidentified object. Curved casting fragment of oval section, narrowing abruptly from its widest point and probably tapering more gently towards both ends, but also broken at both ends. The object is pitted on its internal curved surface. The curvature of the object might suggest it to be part of a ring of diameter c.100mm, or possibly a fragment of a robust hook or other suspension device. Dr Kevin Leahy kindly suggests a possible connection with horse harness. Suggested date: possibly Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Length: 34.6mm, Width: 16.9mm, Thickness: 5.6mm, Weight: 12.77gms.
