Copper-alloy cast bar with loop terminal. The bar is 'D' shaped in section and features transverse moulded bands, both thinner and thicker, along the length, giving the impression that the bar is segmented. It is not clear whether there has been a break at the point at which the bar terminates, though if it was broken, it was done so in antiquity. The opposite terminal ends in a flattened circular plate through which a hole has been drilled to form a loop. The loop thickness is significantly thinner at the opposite side to the joint with the bar, suggesting that the bar was fitted to …
