Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy object, rectanghular in shape measuring 40.8mm in total length and 9.5mm in width. This object consists of a circular suspension loop, 6.8mm in diameter and filled with corroded iron, and a flat rectangular shaped body. This body has one complete rectangular shaft projecting from it terminating in a circular suspension loop, the other parallel shaft is missing due to an old break but is likely to have mirrored the design of the first. No parallel could be found for this object, it is most likely to be medieval in date and both the larger loop and the smaller one at the end of the projecting shaft to have been used for suspending something, due to the corroded iron within the larger loop and the wear on the outer edge of the smaller loop. It could therefore have functioned as a strap jnuction or pendant of some kind.
