Description: | A copper alloy loop, probably a ferrule of probable Late Medieval or Post Medieval date (about AD 1400 - 1700) and perhaps from a knife. The ferrule is made from a band of moulded copper alloy bent into a loop and has a butt joint, the seam of which is visible. It is sub-circular with four convex faces each decorated with a lozenge in relief which in turn are decorated with incised cross hatching. The seam is across one of the lozenges. Compare LIN-63D8F2 which has similarities. The object is too small to be a finger ring but could have decorated many other objects or could be a large and heavy bead. It is 14.4mm external diameter, 8.5mm internal diameter, 7.6mm thick and weighs 4.66g. It has a well developed rich green patina.
