IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 183859 accession number: CM.1848-2008 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Monday 18 May 2015 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A broken section of a copper-alloy object. It may have been a tool, perhaps tweezers as suggested by the flattened and straight terminal. Alternatively, it may be a looped pin broken where it would have curved upwards to form a loop. If it is a ring-pin then it conforms to the plain style seen in tenth and eleventh century contexts from Ireland.
