Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object. It consists of a rectangular shaped part, 15mm in length and 10mm in width, which tapers abruptly into another rectangular part which projects from the first at right angles and is 8mm in length and 7mm in width. The object is flat and there is gilding on the front face, there is a longditudinal groove inbetween the two rectangular sections. The smaller rectangle is further decorated by two square knops, which are opposite each other and near the edge of the end which is attached to the larger rectangle, these knops may represent eyes, after the knops there are transverse grooves which run to the end of the object, which appears to be incomplete due to an old break. The back face of this object is undecorated. No parallel could be found for this object although it is likely to be Early-Medieval or Medieval in date.
