Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, probably a fragment from the handle of a staff or sceptre. A short length from one side of the cylindrical object survives, terminating at both ends in old breaks. The outer surface has multiple transverse ribs, with a single incised transverse groove visible at the top in the old breaks, and with double transverse grooves at the old breaks to the base of the object. It measures 41.86mm in length, 23.51mm in width, 15.07mm in thickness (incomplete; 5.00mm in thickness at wall), and 30.87g in weight.This is probably a fragment from a cylindrical handle of Roman date. It is likely to have functioned as a handle from a staff, sceptre of similar item, with similar objects recorded through the PAS with reference to parallels from Wanborough and elsewhere (e.g. HAMP-ADC525, SUR-E5BC26, LIN-A7EF01, or SF-427411). It is of probable Roman date, c.43-410 AD.
