Description: | A copper alloy cast and worked awl of uncertain date, but possibly either Roman or medieval /post-medieval. The object has a working tip with a square section to the rear, indicative of having been fitted to a handle. The surface has a mottled green patina with ferrous staining. As the form of these objects did not change for thousands of years it is not possible to date it accurately, however the patina suggests either a Roman or medieval/post-medieval date.
