Copper alloy tap slag measuring 66.10mm long, 36.19mm wide, 11.85mm thick and weighing 62.1g. The slag is very long and thin with rounded edges and evidence of air holes. One side is very flat and more smooth than the other, suggesting that the molten copper alloy was poured onto a flat surface where it then cooled.
