Description: | Unidentified object made from a grey metal, probably a copper alloy. Although thin and flat, it is decorated on both faces. It consists of two lobes, both rounded sub-rectangles, one of which was probably central and one terminal, with another terminal lobe broken off on the other side. The lobes are decorated with longitudinal lines which curve slightly to suggest that they represent a rounded bundle (perhaps of straw or reeds or thin sticks?) and the two lobes are separated by a narrowed waist, across which are more lines which suggest the binding up of the bundle. There is a broken projection on one of the long edges of the terminal lobe. Date and function unknown.
