It is a length of copper alloy which is curved in plan and U-shaped in cross section. The outer face of the curve is rough and possibly incomplete and is concave. It is unclear whether the long edges are complete or not. The inner face of the curve is smooth with a glossy patina surviving in places, and appears to be worn. One end is certainly a break; the other end is squarer and is more D-shaped in cross-section and could be an original end. If the possibly complete end is positioned vertically, the bend in the length puts the broken end at right angles to the complete end, so the bar bends through ninety degrees in a smooth, but uneven curve which is straighter at the complete end and then curves more strongly near the broken end, before curving less strongly again right by the broken end. The bar measures: length 39.7mm, width 9.6mm and thickness 6.6mm, weight 12.07g.
The unfinished looking outer face makes it unlikely that this is part of a bracelet or other dress accessory, nor does it appears to be part of a loop or ring. The function of this object remains unknown.2019-05-21 15:38:452019-06-06 15:57:50412018-12-142019-03-141Certain112121PAS5CE40D7500191872SWYORCopper alloy10627IncompleteROMANROx41218p0gjgrs69wsROMANROx41218p0gjgrs69wsMetal detectorCircaCirca95225191239143912341430SE4500SE4500SE40SE53.49478705-1.323167081011060391SWYOR40D759RomanUnidentifieldObject.jpg5598631Roman Unidentifield ObjectWest Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service4images/ikw1945/Yorkshire and the HumberCultivated landEuropean RegionMetropolitan DistrictRotherhamMetropolitan DistrictRotherhamMetropolitan District Ward53.4962-1.33684WathReturned to finder97484
