Technical Observations: The patina is green with spots of underlying red. Brown burial accretions are present. The surface is well preserved.
The wire is irregular in its shape and diameter. It was probably made by hammering. The front and back surfaces are slightly flattened, presumably from wear. There are longitudinal striations in the structure of the wire resulting from the forming process.
