Description: | An unidentified copper-alloy object, possibly of Roman date. The artefact is roughly conical in shape, with a loop at the narrow end of the cone. The lower half of the cone is hollow, indicating it may have been intended as a socketed attachment. The loop is circular, with two indentations that run the whole way around the outside. The external surface of the object is smooth and covered in a mottled green patina, although a few fragments of the original brass/bronze colouring are still visible; the internal surface is rough, and a light beige colour. The base of the cone is 15.15mm wide, with an internal diameter of 10.5mm, and is 4.55mm thick; the narrow end of the cone (just below the loop) is 7.65mm wide. The loop has an external diameter of 16.7mm, an internal diameter of 11mm, and is 4.8mm thick. The whole object is 54.75mm long, and weighs 34.98g.
