Description: | A single copper alloy loop, probably a link from a chain of uncertain date, probably Medieval to Post Medieval (AD 1200 - 1900). The link is oval and curved. It is made from circular sectioned wire of 2.4mm diameter and is joined into a loop with a soldered butt joint. It is 17.4mm long and 14.5mm wide. 1.75g.The chain is similar to YORYM-2701E7 and particularly BERK-4A3105 which cites published chains, though none quite the same. It is unlikely to be a link form chain mail since this was usually made of iron, the links were usually smaller, and were usually riveted into a loop.Contrast LANCUM-B10EC4.
