Description: | Sheet copper alloy fragment, possibly from an Anglo Saxon Pendant. The object appears to be folded over and the upper and lower sheets are of the same shape. The object is narrowed where it is folded and then expands slightly, and this tapered section appears to form a suspension loop (W. 4.6-6.4mm). The object then expands more pronouncedly, forming rounded shoulders, before continuing to expand more gradually until it is broken off forming an irregular edge. The upper surface bears incised decoration. At the bottom of the suspension loop there are two wide, parallel lateral grooves. Beneath this, there are a further two narrow, parallel lateral incised grooves. On the main body of the object there are two wide incised lateral grooves, arranged in the form of an 'X', although the lower section is missing. The suspension loop also has incised decoration in the form of two parallel longitudinal grooves aligned slightly off centre, beginning on the upper surface c.2mm above the first of the incised lateral grooves, and continuing to approximately the same level on the reverse. The reverse is otherwise undecorated. Patchy light-mid green patina.
