Description: | Cast copper-alloy swivel. Globular, with circular-sectioned perforation down the centre. The body has deeply-cut incised diagonal lines which create narrow, pointed oval segments. The upper and lower ends have a flat, circular moulding which is perforated and is decorated with radiating incised lines around the perforation. There is a separate circular-sectioned shank with square terminals, secured through the body. Each terminal has a transverse circular-sectioned perforation, and on one of the terminals this is blocked by iron corrosion. On each of the terminals, two of the five sides are decorated with an engraved 'X' motif which does not meet at the centre and is enclosed by an irregular broken border. At the centre of the globular body is a transverse circular perforation, which does not extend through to the other side.
