This may have been strung through the hole for use as a spinning toy, fastened through it as a mount, or may be part of a larger object, perhaps the end of a cylinder. The surface is darkened by treatment with oil or Vaseline by the finder. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1900.Diameter: 44.3mm, Thickness: 0.7mm, Weight: 8.13gms.
