Description: | Copper-alloy pyramid-shaped object. It has a hollow interior, and the upper corner is purposefully missing, therefore forming a sub-square hole. The exterior surface is decorated with a ring and dot design. On each face there are three ring and dots. The edges of the base are slightly abraded and the surfaces of the object are slightly pitted. This object may perhaps be a pyramidal scabbard mount of early Anglo-Saxon date, although the characteristic bar across the centre of the base is missing. If it is, it will date to the first half of the 7th century AD.
