Description: | An incomplete or fragment of copper alloy (possibly bronze) unidentified object, of uncertain date. It has a worn, old break at one end, showing signs of a light green/ blue corrosion product (in contrast with the shiny darker green surface of the rest of the object).To one face the object is curved and S-shaped in profile, being thicker at one end (the undamaged end), measuring 6.73mm thick. This is a finished end and flush with it are the ends of the two sides of the object, parallel to each other, and extending from the opposite face of the object, which is flat with a short downward slope at the damaged end (and corresponding with one of the curves on the other face). This edge is 2.69mm thick.The sides of the object follow the lines of the faces to give an S-shaped profile to one edge and a straight edge with a slope at one end to the other. These edges have equal thickness along their length, although one is a little thicker than the other (5.51mm and 4.16mm).The object measures 43.87mm in max. length, 42.86mm in width, 14.07mm in height, 13.32mm in max. thickness and weighs 87.10g.Although the smooth and shiny patina of the object suggests the object has some age to it, a more modern date cannot be ruled out.
