A small copper alloy object, probably a ferrule, of most likely modern date, perhaps dating to the 18th or 19th century. The ferrule takes the shape of a flat-topped dome, which is circular (although distorted/dented on one side) in plan. The flat top is undecorated, the tapering sides are decorated with a stamped continuous decorative border in a "meander" motif following the entire circumference. The object has developed a shiny mid-green patina over its exterior surface. Its maximum diameter is 13.97mm and height 6.58mm. It weighs 0.87 grams.

A modern silver ferrule of the 19th century. The object consists of groups of five strands of silver wire interwoven to create a hollow cylinder that tapers from one open end to the other. The entire object is broadly out of shape. The narrower end is particularly compressed while the opposite end is oval. Several similar objects are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Sceme database, all of which have been identified as 19th century ferrules. These include BUC-593765, DENO-F7EC2C and KENT-A512A4. The ferrule measures 19.1mm in length and 11.9mm in maxi…

A complete copper alloy composite object, a Ferrule, of Modern date (AD 1860-1885). The object is composed of a thin folded sheet of copper alloy, with a visible longitudinal seam, one end of the object is folded/hammered around a Farthing of Victoria, reading VICTORIA.D.G/BRIT.REG.FI forming an end cap or terminal. The other end of the object has been compressed, possibly due to post depositional processes, but would likely have been open, giving the object a cylindrical form. There are two sub-circular perforations at opposing sides of the open end of the object. this suggests the ob…

A sheet copper-alloy ferrule of probable medieval date. Description: The ferrule is formed from sheet copper-alloy, rolled to form a narrow, tapering tube. The lower end of the tube has been broken leaving a ragged, open hole. Where the ends of the rolled sheet meet they overlap with a single, longitudinal seam. The upper end of the ferrule is intact and has been cut to form a decorated edge of pointed triangles. There is a circular copper-alloy rivet passing through the ferrule close to this upper edge. The whole outer face of the ferrule is decorated with incised chevrons.…

A post medieval to modern silver ferrule, probably dating to the 19th century AD. The object consists of groups of six strands of silver wire interwoven to create a rectangular ferrule. The shorter edges are hollow, and the inside core is probably copper alloy. From one of the shorter edges projects a sharp copper alloy point, this would have attached the ferrule originally. The ferrule is a grey silver colour, it has been previously damaged and slightly distorted out of shape.  Similar ferrules on the database are DENO-F7EC2C and KENT-A512A4

Copper alloy possible ferrule. Cast cylinder with either a break or a butted seam, and with faint traces of finely-spaced longitudinal fluting, the latter concealed below later accretions of corrosion, or possibly heat damage. The fine decoration may be machined and may point to a relatively recent date. This might have been a binding for a whip stock, cane or similar.
