Copper alloy unidentified object. A cast cylindrical baluster-shaped object which was probably finished on a lathe, with a protruding rounded boss set centrally at its wider flat end, and a hole of diameter 2mm at the narrower. Between these, the object diminishes in diameter, sharply at the wider end, and then more gradually between five circumferentially moulded ribs. The hole at the smaller end may have retained a point, or the features at either end may have together permitted the object to rotate in the manner of a bobbin. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800
Length: 45.8mm, Diameter: 12.0mm, Weight: 13.44gms
