Description: | Piece of well-patinated green sheet bronze, cut to approximately square proportions, twice pierced, and ornamented with punch-marks at the corner. Only one corner survives, for the object is fragmentary. The metal is quite thin, little more than 0.3mm, while the lateral dimensions are 35mm and 33mm. Of the two piercings, one is central within the sheet, and the other is towards the corner, with a row of seven punched dots forming a margin just outside the position of this hole. This object is possibly a spangle from a Roman or Early Mediaeval horse harness.
