UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT

Unique ID: SF9065

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published Find published

Unidentified object made from copper alloy. It is the shape of a modern split pin, with an expanded loop 11 mm wide. The cross-section at the loop is 5 mm wide and flat, but as the loop tapers into the shafts the cross-section becomes narrower and thicker before flattening again to the now bent and distorted points. Length as now bent, 44 mm. The condition of the metal is peculiar; pale grey with orange patches, it looks almost like iron but does not react to a magnet. Date unknown; possibly modern.
