Description: | Fragment of a crescent-shaped plate of copper-alloy, broken at the widest point and near one tip, and therefore forming an elongated object with a long curved convex side and a short curved concave side, their two fractured ends being angled at about 70 degrees separation if calculated from the centre of the wider, convex circle. Both surfaces of the plate are profusely decorated with incised (?drilled) ring-and dot ornament,the disposition of which corresponds quite closely on both sides of the plate. Towards the narrower end of the plate is a hole c5mm dimater with four smaller piercings of c2mm surrounding it. The larger fractured end of the plate (as if across the centre of the crescent) evidently broke through another series of such piercings, similarly arranged on the median axis between the two curved edges. The inner curved edge has filing marks from manual fabrication, and the whole object carries a bluish-green patination.
