Description: | Unidentified copper alloy object, of unknown age, with a remnant white metal coating. It consists of a flat round head with three circular piercings (one above, two below) with a flat shank projecting from below. This shank is rectangular in section & tapers slightly inward along its length & has two circular piercings, possibly for rivets or some form of attachment. The object has a curved profile with the apex of the curve at the junction of the head & the shaft. It recurves and tapers slightly near the bottom of the shaft. No convincing parallels have been found for the object though its construction & feel suggest a degree of antiquity. It could possibly be an element from a brooch, aestal, pin, vessel, or some other object.The head diameter is 9mm, length 40mm, shank width 4mm, thickness 2mm, and the weight 2.04g.
