Description: | Three broken links, now fused together, from a chain of probable Medieval or Post Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1800. All three links have come apart at the joints forming U shapes rather than closed loops. Each link is 16 or 17mm long and is made of a piece of copper alloy which is oval in cross-section. There are faint raised longitudinal lines along each piece of metal. The ends of each strip bend inwards slightly where they would have been a joint to for a closed loop. The links do not appear to be shaped to allow the chain to lie flat. The fragment has a dark brown patina. Together, the fragment of chain is 28.2mm long, 17.4mm wide and 3.8mm thick. 3.3g.
