A small piece of metal sludge from a copper alloy. The piece is encrusted almost entirely with soil on one side, the opposite side reveals evidence of burnt soil as well as metal portions with reddish head tones. The coloration of the metal varies from point to point. The piece may be considered metal sludge based on its coloration, irregularity in shape and heavy encrustation. Such pieces would have been discarded into the soil during the casting process. [Input: S824MM.j] |
