Description: | A copper alloy unidentified object, possibly of medieval or maybe Roman date. It consists of a long arm with a diagonal edge at one end and a two square knobs, each with a deep groove in the middle, at the other end. The arm is rectangular in cross-section and taper slightly towards the knobbed end. Two raised knops, perhaps longer originally extend from one side and extremely worn multiple bumps, perhaps complete loops originally, extend in the same place from the other side. It is very worn and corroded and slightly bent out of shape.It is very similar in form to an object from Nottinghamshire recorded on the PAS database (DENO-884848), which is identified as a medieval folding balance arm. However, it is not clear how either would have functioned in this way as there is no evidence that they were part of larger composite objects.Length: 86.65mm, width: 7.78mm, thickness: 4.20mm, weight: 14.20g
