Description: | Copper alloy girdle hanger fragment. Centre shaft with suspension loop, which is incomplete. The pierced loop is set at right angles to the shaft; the hole diam is 3.5mm, and the loop has broken at the weak point, possibly in antiquity. The upper shaft is triangular in section with pairs of angled grooves; below this there may have been transverse mouldings but the front is very corroded. The lower shaft is rectangular in section, expanding to 9x2mm at the break, which is recent. There are punched circles along the edges and one pair of transverse grooves. Surviving length 82mm. Similar to an eg from Icklingham (Mitchells Hill, IKL 026).
