status: Awaiting validation 
A fragment of an unidentified copper alloy artefact of unknown date. It consists of a curved length of thin metal, probably part of a larger arc. In cross-section, the metal is angled at about a forty five degree angle, perhaps suggesting the fragment is from the middle of a biconvex object. There are faint traces of a double groove running along the outer face of the change of angle. All the edges are incomplete. The artefact has a dark green patina. It is 30.3mm long, 8mm wide and 2.1mm thick. It weighs 1.84gm. It could possibly be part of a bell, ferrule, or other unidentified object.
