Description: | A worn and incomplete fragment from a copper-alloy object of uncertain form. The surviving fragment is roughly rectangular in form, curved in profile, and with one flattened end, terminating in all directions in old breaks. The outer edge has the remains of two moulded transverse flutes between transverse ribs or ridges, while the interior is concave. This perhaps indicates that the object was originally cylindrical in form, although this remains uncertain given the small surviving fragment. All surfaces have extensive wear, and the exterior has a corroded dark green patina. It measures 10.41mm in height, 11.96mm in width, 5.96mm in maximum thickness, and 2.59g in weight.The precise function of this object remains uncertain due to its preservation. However, its form and decorative elements might indicate it potentially dates as early as the Roman period, although an earlier or later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
