Description: | An unidentified cast copper-alloy U-shaped fragment of a larger object, probably Medieval or Post Medieval in date. The object is quite heavy (97 grams) and has straight outer edges, bevelled inner edges and ranges from sub-rectangular cross-sections at the two ends to a D-shaped cross-section at its middle. It is assymmetrically cast with one arm thicker than the other (approximately 14.8 mm thick; the other approximately 13.7 mm thick), suggesting that this was not a large handle or similar object. The object is medium green in colour, with a large degree of darker grey-black colour and encrustation suggesting sooting. It is therefore possible that this item should be associated with cooking vessels.
