Description: | A cast copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The object consists of an oval sectioned bar of copper alloy which has been twisted round to form an oval loop at one end which has been flattened. At the opposite end the object curves to one side (transverse to the loop) terminating with an ancient flattened break. The terminal of the object is split at the upper face 13.62mm from the end. It is uncertain whether or not the split is deliberate as it is very neat.Possible functions for the object include a buckle or a brooch pin however for it to function properly the loop and the curve at the terminal end should run in the same direction. The object has a mid-green patina and is in fair condition.
