Description: | Copper alloy unidentified object. A concavo-convex semi-tubular object with closed ends, a drilled rivet hole of diameter 2mm at either end of the convex surface, and with moulded horizontal ribs along its entire length. Rust in one of the rivet holes, and also staining the internal concave surface, suggest a close relationship to components of ferrous metal, as, for example, with a casing protecting a coiled spring - though the rivets would interfere with the working of a spring in such a case. The decoration is heavily worn, being virtually lost from the mid-section of the object, and the same wear may have entirely removed part of one side. This reporter would welcome better-informed advice as to the dating and identification of this object. Suggested date: Unknown, 1350-1650.Length: 35.5mm, Width: 11.2mm, Thickness: 1.6mm, Weight: 5.73gms.
