A resized image of IOW-650564 Post-Medieval Toilet Article (earscoop)

An incomplete and misshapen post-Medieval cast copper-alloy toilet article, possibly an earscoop (c. 1500-c. 1800 AD).
It has an incomplete shallow bowl that has a ragged break. The opposite end of the implement is missing due to a transverse break. It has a shaft, circular in cross, 2.67mm in diameter. The shaft is bent through an angle of 90°. Close to the break the shaft thickens and this may be a collar for the missing part.The breaks are old and the reddish brown metal has patches of a dark brown patina.
The bowl has a maximum width of 6.38mm and its depth is 1.63mm. Length (if straightened): 75.09mm. Weight:2.95g.
