Copper-alloy scoop from a seed drill. A truncated conical object 6mm high, with the base and top of the cone replaced by semi circular depressions. The larger depression measures 20mm in diameter and the smaller one 16mm; these are presumably for scooping up seeds of two different sizes. The 7.23mm broken lug would have attached the scoop to the turning wooden centre of the seed drill.
