A copper alloy object, possibly a furniture fitting of post-medieval date. The object is a rod with several collars and knops of varying size, with a large central spiralled knop, akin to terminals of pins and purse bars of the post-medieval period. The terminal on this example is a small rounded point. Below the large spiral are three collars or ribs, with the rest of the rod being broken. Although the style may indicate a purse bar, the size and form would appear too big for a purse bar frame terminal; comparison with those illustrated in Ward-Perkins (1940) show that this object is…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy probable hilt band or spacer for a knife handle. In construction it appears to be post-medieval, probably dating from c1500 to c1700 AD; a soldered joint can be seen on the undecorated, D-shaped and D-sectioned hoop. Although the ring is now not circular, it may be still in its original shape which would also suggest a knife fitting rather than a finger ring.
