Description: | Copper-alloy object resembling a swivel. The object is cylindrical in section, and is broken at the lowest point where it divides into two arms. There is a hollow shaft above leading into two decorative crescentic arms, one arching over the other. Each crescentic arm is longitudinally ribbed. The very top of the object is also pierced, allowing something to pass vertically through the entire object. This would seem to suggest its function as some kind of swivel, although being fairly small. It may date to the early-medieval period (roughly 410-1066).
