Description: | In plan the object is a sub-triangular shape, however the upper corner is the only original edge. This corner has a small, possible, rivet hole. The object is a plate of copper alloy which is slightly concave. The concave surface has a central iron protrusion surrounded by heavy iron corrosion and staining. Whether the iron protrusion is intentional or not is diffcult to tell from observation. On the convex surface, in the centre, there is a sub-circular sectioned, ientral stud. The stud, at the join of the plate, is sub-square in section. The stud has mutlti faceted sides. At the tip of the stud iron is visible. A possibility is that the stud is cylindrical with an ironrod in the centre which protrudes on the other surface. Where the copper alloy is visible, it has a well developed light blue/grey/green patina.
