Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy unidentified object, possibly of early medieval date. This object has a swollen oval shaped centre and is then waisted to either side of this, one end is then incomplete due to an old break and the other flares outwards again into a rounded terminal. It measures 53mm in survivng length and 15mm in width at its widest point. The front face of this object is convex and the back face hollow. The metal is a reddish brown and reminiscent of that used for late Anglo-Saxon stirrup strap mounts, terminals and bridle fittings. Indeed there is a possiblilty that this object is an incomplete cheek piece of unusual form.
