Cu alloy possible tool. In plan the it is a strip which flares at one end. In section it is c-shaped as the strip curved. At the flared, curved end, the strip is decorated with grooves which when looked at from the end are zig-zag shaped. In plan the grooves are tear-shaped. About a third of the way down there is a nick on each side in a trinagular shape. It has been suggested that it could be a tool for making patterns in leather or perhaps pastry cutting.
