Description: | Copper alloy Unidentified Object. Cast oval loop with fine diagonal ribbing on both sides suggesting a function as a handle, which springs from a row of three conjoined spheres, the central sphere being slightly larger. A square section shank projects from this, and ends in a slightly expanded ragged stub which may have met another element (now lost) at what remains of its flat surface. Though superficially resembling a watch winder, and probably of similar date, this object appears likely to have fulfilled some distinct function; a handle for a fob seal might be one possibility. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1850.Length/Height: 21.1mm, Width: 15.4mm, Thickness: 4.8mm, Weight: 2.65gms.
