Part of a cast, copper alloy artifact, possibly a mount, probably of post-medieval date. It consists of a flat, narrow shaft of rectangular section, flat on the underside and slightly beveled on the upper surface, one end of which terminates in a pair of sloping, triangular side projections. This gives the appearance of an arrow head, though it is impossible to be certain as both ends of the artifact have broken off in antiquity and are missing. The end opposite the "arrow" is bent upwards, but this is probably damage rather than intentional. The artifact is silvered and a large perce…
