Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy cast place which may have originally been a convex oval shape, however most of the outside edge is missing. On what appears to be the upper surface is a cast raised moulded coffee-bean shaped decoration created by an integrally cast oval having a very deeply incised groove running longitudinally across it effectively cutting it in half. When facing coffee-bean downwards the item appears slightly concave and at one end there is an integrally cast projecting stud the shank of which is circular in section, the shank terminates in a flattened head. The underside is much rougher and appears unfinished compared to the upper surface which has a fine dark green patina; the reverse of the coffee bean is very slightly hollowed with some grey-brown and white infill of unknown origin.
