Description: | This plaqee is rectangular in shape and depicts the figure of St Theodore. Only the top half of the figure is shown - he holds a cross in his right hand whereas the left arm and hand are obscured by his cloak. The figure has been carved and grooves define the patterning on the cloak and texture of the hair. A number of symbols have been engraved on either side of the head. The figure stands proud of the background, surrounded by a plain raised border. A hole can be found in the centre of each side of the border and in each corner of the background. A hole can also be found in the centre of the figure. The object is made from bone which is light brown in colour and has a slight sheen. The edges of the object are uneven and two cracks can be found in the bottom right-hand corner.
