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 oblique seam of which is visible. It is sub-circular and is decorated with thee incised circumferential lines and and 11 irregular diagonal lines forming lozenge shaped hatching. Compare LIN-63D8F2 and SWYOR-78D369 which have 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 11.3mm external diameter, 7.1mm internal diameter, 7.8mm wide and weighs 3.05g. The metal is 2.1mm thick. It has a well developed rich green patina.
