Description: | Decorative object of unknown type. The object is a bar, generally D-shaped in section, which is bent round so that the two ends meet. The object tapers from one end (W. 6.3-4.35mm. Th. 5.34-3.3mm). The upper surface has moulded decoration. At the wider end there are two transverse grooves adjacent to a section whose upper face is flattened, so that it is rectangular in section. The flattened upper surface has a raised rectangular panel with incised cross-hatched decoration and a plain raised border. On either side there is a longitudinal groove, and there is a lateral groove beneath the panel. Further along the length of the object there are two more lateral grooves, with three short transverse grooves beneath. Beyond this the object is quite worn, however at least two further pairs of transverse grooves are visible, the last pair being close to the terminal. There is a flattened knop at the terminal of the narrow end of the object. Dark patina.
