Copper alloy unidentified object fragment. A fragment from a cast object with a facetted point at its thicker end, further irregular facets along its length which confer an undulating appearance, and broken across a constriction at the other end. The pointed end has a sharply defined cut which might be taken as a smiling mouth. A groove, wider near the cut end, passes along the same side of the object, and its line is continued by the constriction across which it has broken. A vaguely zoomorphic appearance may arise from the 'mouth', but this is not a primary feature of the casting…
