Description: | Copper alloy and iron unidentified object. Cast concavo-convex copper alloy hollow cone which retains white material and a rusted object within it. The iron might be a clapper for a bell of Early Medieval form, but there is no means of suspension, nor evidence for its loss. An alternative identification would be as a Roman period vesel mount, a class of object often reported as filled with lead. The edge of the object is lightly frayed. One of a pair of similar objects reported from the same find spot; numerous corroded late Roman coins accompanied these objects. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Early Medieval, 43-1100.Diameter: 28.6mm, Height: 21.2mm, Thickness (wall): 0.9mm, Weight: 13.83gms.
